While winemaker Ed Tomlinson uses a half-and-half rule of thumb when it comes to this blend, the new release is again semillon-dominant, boding well for the wine’s appeal both in the short and long terms. Typically clearly-defined, dense, green-tinged tropical fruits framed by vibrant acidity that gives the palate tremendous length. More than enough punch and crunch to enjoy now but as proven by previous releases, this will also reward cellaring. 18 www.lentonbrae.com
