2017 Shadowbox Cellars Semillon Napa

2017 Shadowbox Cellars Semillon Napa image

The newest thing from this small boutique producer from Napa is this 2017 Semillon.  The most important thing about making a fine wine is finding the right fruit to make the best juice and when our friends at Shadowbox were offered fruit from one of the oldest Semillon vineyards in Napa, they jumped at the chance to make a unique white from one of the top Bordeaux varietals.  Although you see this varietal in many blends it is rare to see a single varietal made from Semillon and this 2017 is the first attempt at this varietal and it made our list of top wines in 2022!



 



WINE WATCH REVIEW: A beautiful bouquet of tree fruits quince, apricot, pear and red apple with white flowers, coconut and wet stone like minerality and hints of honey on the nose.  A viscous wine on the tongue with layers of fruit, a distinct minerality and a long layered finish echoing the nuance from the nose through the long layered finish.  Finish 50+  TASTING DATE 9/2/22.  Most Excellent
