($23): Although winemakers around the world frequently blend Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, the grape names are not often seen on the label together. Adding Semillon to Sauvignon Blanc is a time-honored way of muting the pungency of the latter, which is the result in this wine. Semillon adds a touch of roundness that mellows the pungency of pure Sauvignon Blanc. The result is a fresh upbeat wine that enlivens the palate without being shrill. 89 Michael Apstein Dec 28, 2010
