title: Novelty Hill 2005 Stillwater Creek Vineyard Sémillon (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: This is just about perfect Sémillon— the gorgeous fruit has more flesh and breadth with flavors suggesting ripe fig, melon and citrus. The use of oak is judicious and thoughtful; it adds grace notes without dominating. You can't help but wonder why this grape remains such a novelty (except, ironically, at Novelty Hill!). It's seductive, delicious and unique.
variety: Sémillon
