Donna and I experienced first tried this wine at a holiday party where my friend generously shared it with some of his guests. Needless to say were blown away and have had a few bottles in-stock ever since. This could quite possibly be the "unicorn" that changes your perspective on the satisfactoin a white wine can deliver.

Tasting Notes:
The attack, lively and chiseled, is followed by a fine volume on the palate coming from the already present roundness of the Semillon. The freshness and intensity of a precocious vintage is surprising in this 2020 white. The woodiness is mellowed leaving pride of place to the aromas of juicy white fruit (pear, peach...). The end is divine.
