Estate Bottled Semillon
This 100% varietal Semillon is from our estate vines planted in 1981. Twenty five percent was aged in French oak. The rest was aged in stainless steel. The citrus and spice flavors are superb with asparagus, crab, shellfish and other seafood. This is a limited bottling of 94 cases.
