Murrieta’s Well 2007 White Meritage Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc (Livermore Valley)

Country: US / White Meritage
Variety: Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc California
Winery: Murrieta’s Well / Livermore Valley

Dark yellow honey in color, this fine blend of 52% Sémillon, 48% Sauvignon Blanc is a nice ode to white Bordeaux, very French in its austerity, with plenty of creaminess and barrel richness, too. Its layers of lemon, peach, honeysuckle and butterscotch unveil themselves slowly, the wine’s depth opening over time.
