title: Lauren Ashton Cellars 2012 Cuvée Méline Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: The blend in this new vintage remains three quarters Sauvignon Blanc and one quarter Sémillon, but amps up the alcohol a notch from the 2011 version. It's a lightly toasty, very flavorful wine, adroitly mixing slightly bitter skin flavors, citrus pith and flesh, and a tangy core of grapefruit and pineapple. The length and detail are impressive.
