Begins with aromas of citrus, followed by grapefruit and silky mouth-filling viscosity leading to notes of minerality. The Semillon floats across the palate, lengthening the finish in a delightful way. This white blend puts Washington Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon in perfect complementary balance.

93 Points -- Owen Bargreen
The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon Without Rehearsal blends nearly all Sauvignon Blanc (88%) with the remainder Sémillon. Nutty and damp earthy tones combine with pink grapefruit blossom and lychee on the nose. The palate shows a silky mouthfeel and soft texture. Layers of pretty melon fruits mingle with minerals, lime zest and shades of salted macadamia nut. This finishes with glorious length.
90 Points — Steven Tanzer
Bright straw-yellow. Deep honey and lanolin notes from the Sémillon along with ripe peachy fruit on the nose. Smooth, pliant and mouthfilling, showing more energy and definition than the 2018 Estate White Blend, with more depth of fruit by a clear margin. A note of lemon zest provides some zing to the persistent, tactile aftertaste, with an element of nutty oak giving the wine immediate sweetness and appeal. This serious blend should be flexible at the dinner table.
