2010 JOULLIAN SEMILLON/VIOGNIER • CARMEL VALLEY ESTATE

Our 25 year old, own-rooted Semillon vines gave us our best crop in the last 10 years. 2010 was a late vintage, and resulted in Semillon ripening at the same time as Viognier. So we pressed our tiny Viognier (1/2 ton) crop, left the aromatic skins in the press, and whole cluster pressed the Semillon right over-around-through the Viognier skins. The combo-juice smelled and tasted like spicy lemon rind, and the same crisp, clean, aromatic characteristics showed up in the neutral barrel fermented finished wine. The perfect Summer Sippin’ Wine…not as fat as Chardonnay, not as edgy as Sauvignon Blanc, and more flavorful than Pinot Grigio…and it will age well for 2+ years.

Lovely brilliant pale green-straw color. Distinct, spicy citrus rind and green fig nose. Fresh, balanced mineral, lemon-drop and herbal flavors are both soft and bright – with a clean herb tinged finish. Cellar @ 55° F thru 2012.

FOOD COMPANIONS:
Surprisingly good with spicier grilled fish and poultry, fettuccini with grilled shrimp in Puttanesca sauce is out of this world…Semillon seems to like tomatoes!!
