Wine Review
Archive - Australia, Semillon
($10) is a medium bodied, easy drinking
wine with good fruit, honeysuckle, and
lime flavors. (Wine Tasting Party, 11/00)
($16). Waves of aromatic
passionfruit, grass and citrus flavors
are crisp and refreshing. Ready to drink
now; easy to pair with summer food. (Weekend
Wine, 06/03)
($15). This is a wonderful
wine -- full of lush fig, apple pie, and
herbal flavors. A lovely finish lingers
beautifully. This wine is drinking very
well now, but would probably also age
very nicely for the next couple of years.
(Wine Tasting Party, 11/00)
($25).
Yowza! Unctuous, honeyed and rich, with
marmalade, apricot, fig and cream aromas
and flavors that finish with an acidity
boost that adds excellent balance. Impossible
to resist. Ready to drink now and over
the next six or seven years. (World Wide
Wine 01/05)
($8). Aromatic lemon,
grass and tropical flavors are bright
and juicy. Softens on the smooth finish.
Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine, 08/04)
($9). Fresh bouquet leads to clean, crisp
pear and green apple fruit, with melon
and sweet pea. Picks up a splash of lime
on the tasty finish. Ready to drink now.
(Bargain Wine, 04/03)
($20). Nice! With
an earthy, grassy underpinning to the
bright citrus, passionfruit and crisp
green apple fruit. Long, juicy finish.
Ready to drink now and over the next couple
of years. (Weekend Wine 04/08)
($7). This is a great blend -- the fresh
floral element of the Semillon balances
the traditional richness of the Chardonnay
to create a lush and easy drinking wine.
Good citrus fruit and little to no oak
make this perfect for spring sipping.
Wonderful on its own as an aperitif. Or
try it with dishes like Chinese chicken
salad, oysters on the half shell, or sushi. (ETFOFW,
04/01)
($13). Tangy, almost tart,
with concentrated passionfruit and citrus
flavors nicely accented with herbal notes.
Dry and crisp and great for a hot day.
Ready to drink now. (World Wide Wine 04/05)
($9).
Youthful and a nice change of pace --
with lime zest, lemongrass and some good
texture and body. A good match for summer
salads and citrus spiked seafood dishes.
Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine, 06/03)
