Rand Sealey's Review of Washington Wines
Fermented and aged in stainless steel, this shows a brilliant lemon-gold color and floral aromas of Anjou pear, white peach, Crenshaw melon, Key lime, pear tree blossoms, meadow flowers, lemongrass and wet stone. The flavors are simultaneously viscous and brisk, with notes of pear and grape skins and saline minerals. The back reveals poire and pĂȘche liqueurs, hazelnuts, beeswax, melon rind and lime zest, followed by a nicely juiced moderate alcohol.
VINIFICATION
Sémillon from Les Collines Vineyard was hand harvested early to ensure low finished alcohol and bright acidity. Whole clusters were gently pressed, and the juice was chilled for two days to naturally clarify and settle out solids. After racking to a stainless-steel tank, the wine went through primary and partial secondary fermentation. Cold stabilization was completed by chilling the wine for several weeks.
