July 4, 2014 - Honey and citrus on both the nose and palate. Very heavy, buttery and alcohol-y. Somewhat flat- perhaps because it's past its prime. Wish I had drunk it earlier- then maybe I'd understand the three 90-plus ratings it got from the professionals. But as is I think it was kind of ordinary.

September 11, 2011 - Some citrus, pineapple, and mineral on the nose. More of the same on the palate. Hint of oak but subtle. Medium-light body. Very nicely balanced fruit & acidity. Medium-long finish. Drinking beautifully. Great QPR.

October 2009 (link)(Chateau Rollat Winery Sémillon Ardenvoir, Columbia Valley) A soft touch of starfruit and mandarin orange lead to an oaky, crisp, lightly acidic finish. This wine shows what can be done with properly ripe Sémillon. About 60% of the fruit is from the Wahluke Slope, the rest from Walla Walla. Terroir: Wahluke Slope
