Remarkably brilliant with vibrant crisp acidity, this wine shows fragrant citrus and orange blossom aromas, with apricot, peach, lychee nut, and lemon honeysuckle flavors on a mineral-rich finish.

Wine Advocate The 2006 Semillon Columbia Valley contains 15% Sauvignon Blanc. It was barrel-fermented in 20% new oak and 40% was sur-lie. Light gold-colored, it offers fresh aromas of melons and honey. Smooth-textured, concentrated, and balanced, this lengthy effort would be a fine match for sea bass or rockfish. Score: 90. —Jay Miller, June 2008.

Wine Enthusiast This wine is formulaic in a good way; L’Ecole “owns” Sémillon in Washington, and it is hard to think of any winery in the country that does a better job with the grape. Aged sur lie in neutral oak, blended with 14% Sauvignon Blanc and put through malolactic for added creaminess, this is a delicious, rich and succulent wine that deftly mixes flavors of nettle, lime and melon with vanilla custard and a hint of butterscotch. Score: 90. —Paul Gregutt, December 31, 2007.
