2009 Vintage Tasting Notes

2009 Wine Advocate - 93 points - The 2009 La Belle Blonde is composed of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon which was barrel-fermented, put through full malolactic, and bottled without fining or filtration. Medium gold-colored, it offers up a splendid perfume of brioche, melon, honeysuckle, mineral, and lemon-lime. Creamy textured, savory, and exceptionally concentrated, it is a wine of finesse with intensity to burn. - Jay Miller

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

2008 Wine Advocate - 90 points - The two value-priced wines in the portfolio begin with the 2008 La Belle Blonde, a 100% barrel-fermented Semillon. Light gold-colored; it exhibits a bouquet of candle wax, lanolin, and melon. Round, smooth-textured, and flavorful on the palate, this dry Semillon's oak is well- integrated and its finish is long and pure. It may well evolve for several years but there is no need to wait. - Jay Miller
