Buty Winery Sphinx Semillon 09

The "Beast" wines, made by Buty Winery, are wines that don't fit their standard lineup - new varietals, new vineyards, or an intriguing new blend.

From the winery -

In the remote desert sands of Eastern Washington, we beast Sphinx at her own game and stealthily tricked her into captivity. Sphinx is a careful blend of our sémillon. Among its strengths is its rich texture, rare in a wine of this price. Barrel aged on lees and made from old sémillon vines at Rosebud Ranches on the Wahluke Slope and Spring Creek Vineyard in Yakima Valley, it boasts a clean fruit palate and nose with real length which opens over a meal. Give this young wine aeration and you will unleash it.
