Little Frances Luschinger Vineyard Semillon 2017
Regular price $32
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. 100 dozen imported to Australia. - Erin Pooley, Winemaker
It’s got the good touches of semillon maturity here with wheat biscuit, arrowroot biscuit, honeycomb and faint toasty elements in play with fresh lime, lemon curd, dill and cucumber in tonic going on. Somewhat slippery texture falls into a pool of cool, briny acidity to finish. Toastiness lingers in a pleasing, lovely way. The wine is very enjoyable, and in the zone. - The Wine Front
