An absolutely superb growing season for Northern California. This wine showed promise from the earliest days and shows no signs of backing down.
Straw coloured with a bright lime and dried hay aroma. Crisp peach gives way to a long lemon-toned finish. Balancing youthful freshness and matured complexity in a way that is so incredibly special for Semillon.
100 dozen imported to Australia.
11.3% alcohol
Lake County rises high above the north end of the Napa Valley, over the Mayacamas Mountain range. Classic Bordeaux varieties dominate vineyard plantings in this agricultural basin. Warm summer days are moderated by the cooling mass of Clear Lake - California's largest natural lake. Since 2012, Little Frances has sourced Semillon from a single vineyard owned and tended by three generations of the Luchsinger family.
