The grapes were harvested in September and co-fermented. The wine was barrel aged in French oak (Treuil/Ailler forest) to provide a subtle hint of vanilla, toast, and cloves. The wine is complex yet moderate in alcohol. Semillon is a white wine that ages well and will give many years of drinking pleasure. Drink now or cellar for several years and you will be rewarded.

93 Editor's Choice - Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"...one of the best wines of its type of the vintage. .it shows extraordinary richness, and savory flavors of green and yellow tree fruits, green tea, cashew, Asian spices and gingery vanilla. It even has some dusty tannins that make for grip and structure. The finish is absolutely dry.

91 - Wine & Spirits Magazine
"... this broadens with air into a leesy, rich white. The waxy Semillon character develops into scents of chamomile and yellow flower. An elegant white, this is built to age."
