Sweet spring flowers, lemon-laced apples and confectionary spice introduce the 2022 Sémillon. A model of grace and purity, this is perfumed and slightly exotic, with suggestions of mint that offset green melon notes and ample juicy acidity that keeps the energy high. The 2022 tapers off with cheek-puckering freshness and a saline tinge that perfectly resets the palate. I'm loving the balance of ripeness and tension here. This is a blend of 82% Sémillon and 18% Sauvignon Blanc.

A full body and a rich mouthfeel dominate this 82% semillon and 18% sauvignon blanc wine. Golden apples, Bosc pears and a touch of almonds. Drink now.

The Semillon is rich in aromas and across the palate, sourced from five different vineyards across Washington's larger Columbia Valley AVA. Notes of grilled pineapple, bee pollen and lanolin announce the wine's complex, waxy aromatics. The palate shows freshness up front with citrus character and ample richness and depth to a finish marked by beeswax, honey and grilled pineapple.

Honeyed stone fruits, lemon curd, and a hint of chamomile all emerge from the 2022 Semillon Columbia Valley, a lively, balanced, medium-bodied effort that has integrated acidity and a clean, dry finish. Drink bottles over the coming 2-3 years or so.
