Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 05
(a blend of 83% semillon and 17% sauvignon blanc) Enticing pale greenish-yellow color. Knockout nose combines lime leaf, mint and menthol along with a honeyed richness from the semillon and penetrating minerality. Rich and dense on entry, then wonderfully pure and vibrant in the middle palate, with complex, palate-staining flavors of lime, lemon, minerals and mint. The semillon here shows remarkable verve. Outstanding rising finish builds with aeration and goes on and on. This is 13.3% alcohol, with a pH of 3.2 and 4 grams per liter of acidity. 93-95 points |
