Tasting - Buty Semillion, Sauvignon, and Muscadelle Blend

Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
Country: USA
Year: 2012

Winery Review: The picture perfect 2012 vintage has yielded a wine with mouthfilling richness, alluring aromatics and abundant varietal character. Golden fig, apricot and peach notes from the sémillon combine with the sauvignon’s key lime, gooseberry and lemongrass notes and the muscadelle’s expressive floral aromas to create a complete and compelling whole. Lovely minerality, and enlivening acidity underscore the lush fruit, while adding dimension to the smooth, silky mouthfeel. Beautiful now, but also a true cellar-worthy white.

My Review:
This was a very nice white wine blend. The nose was very floral with a lot of flavors working together. The apricot and lime were exceptionally noticeable on the palate. The taste was very silky and expressive. A lot of the same fruit were working together here too. It has a really nice complexity and is a change of pace white wine for me. The finish was nice with not too much acidity. Definitely worth the price point.
