Outer quote mark Fragrant with cut grass, peavine and sweet hay, leading into light fruit flavors of apple and pear. There are suggestions of sliced orange, and the creamy, textural mouthfeel derived from nine months of aging on the lees. *Editors' Choice* Inner quote mark

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2009 Semillon (65%) – Sauvignon (27%) – Muscadelle (8%) displays an intriguing perfume of bee’s wax, honey, mineral, melon, and jasmine. Intense flavors, impeccable balance, and a lengthy, refreshing finish are the hallmarks of this brilliant effort. It is likely to evolve for 1-2 years and drink well for a decade. Inner quote mark

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

Washington

- Washington has become one of the most important wine producing states in the United States, and development continues to grow rapidly. In 1969, when California was exploding as a wine producer, Washington had only two wineries, but by 2000 that number had passed 100. Most of Washington's grape crop goes to uses other than wine. Merlot and Chardonnay have been the most successful in Washington. It's interesting to note that Washington's prime wine regions are located at 46° north, along the same latitude as the legendary French wine districts of Bordeaux and Burgundy. During the summer, Washington averages more than two hours more sunlight each day compared to California.
