Winery Review: Chardonnay Semillon is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon. It gives a moderate intensity of melon, guava, apricot and butterscotch aromas. The medium bodied palate provides attractive acidity along with plenty of tropical flavors and a medium-long finish

My Review: This wine was very dry. On the nose, the hints of caramel and almonds were complimented with an earthy flavor, like dirt. Based solely on the nose, this wine is sweet and creamy. On the palate however, this wine proved to be rather dry, simple and drinkable. Flavors of nectarine and medium acidity ended long and dry with hints of tropical fruit.

With food?: I tasted this wine without food.
