Here's another excellent effort from winemaker Natalie Spytkowsky making Semillon at Rosewood, I do believe Natalie has found her knack with this grape, because this is her third consecutive vintage of making a wonderful summer sipper out of something we don't see much of in Niagara (as a stand alone). The nose delivers peaches, pears and apples, while the palate adds lime to the aforementioned mix. Really fruity with a zingy bite of acidity, a hallmark of 2009 whites. What really makes this wine, besides everything, is the long (really long) finish that just seems to keep hanging around - like the old man with the great stories, you want to leave but you can't seem to pull yourself away. Price: $18.00 - Rating: **** 1/2
