Mayacamas Vineyards
Noble Napa Valley Semillon

I came for dessert and I'm so thankful I did. This is a tremendously vibrant and exhilarating wine. Honeyed fruit and kumquat. Late late WOTN.

1974. I'm not really one to get into the messy business of rating Mayacamas wines on here, but occasionally there's one like this that is a true rarity worth documenting. Thanks to @Matthew Beckman for bringing this to dinner last night. Nose transported me instantly to the 1985 Raymond Lafon Sauternes that we poured BTG aT Per Se for years. Super classic, spicy, bergamot and neroli tones. Beeswax, cardamom, green plum, white peach. Nearly dry on the pallet. A wonder of a wine I hope I get to taste again some day... #wow
