"Honeycrisp apples come to mind at first sip, along with dollops of peach, lemongrass and caramel. The mouthfeel is fresh and flavorful, with excellent texture and length." - Reviewed 9/1/2014

Winery Notes
"Semillon dominates our classic white blend. The sand, silt-loam filled soils and cooler temperatures of Spring Creek Vineyard in the Yakima Valley nurture our sauvignon bringing bright acidity to the blend. Muscadelle from Lonesome Spring River Ranch is responsible for the florals in this verve-filled wine. A portion of the wine is lees aged in mature oak and the balance aged in a concrete tank.
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
semillon 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."
