A rare find, Kalin Cellars only releases to its mailing list. It's very difficult, indeed to find an example of an aged California Semillon. The nose is lush, with layers of dried apricots and pear jelly, marzipan and brown butter sauce. In the mouth, it's equally rich, glycerolly and silky...walnut oil, mandarin orange. An incredible treat and absolutely lovely with Salade Niçoise with seared Ahi tuna.

Microbiologists Terry & Frances Leighton at Kalin Cellars have given Semillon its due, from old Livermore vines, some pre-Prohibition. This 2000 is their most recent release. Incredible verve & complexity.

2000. Texturally dense, lush and waxy. Oak also lends lots of sweet spice layered over tropical fruit. Wild and crazy and weird and delicious.

Great tension for a 15 year old wine from California. Couldn't have asked for better food to pair with than that at Odys & Penelope!
