Liquid summer...Always. Our Star Meadows from this vintage carries a little more Semillon than previous vintages and I love what it does for this wine. Citrus aromas with layers of apricot and summerlike floral notes. Rich and layered, fresh and crisp...so refreshing. Serve it slightly chilled for a wonderful aperitif.
