L’Ecole No. 41 2012 Seven Hills Vineyard Estate Luminesce Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc
Winery: L’Ecole No. 41 / Seven Hills Vineyard Estate Luminesce

This wine is mostly Sémillon, with Sauvignon Blanc filling in the rest. It’s one of the rare white wines from the Walla Walla AVA, graceful, full-bodied and tasting of fig and green banana. Just recently bottled, it still carries a bit of yeast in the nose and in the finish. Give it another few months to pull itself together.
