(essentially a 60/40 blend of semillon and sauvignon blanc, with homeopathic doses of chardonnay and viognier; this wine was previously called Alluvium Blanc): Light yellow. Hint of resiny oak on the high-toned nose. Supple and round on the palate, with lively acidity and a hint of minerality perking up the hazelnut flavor. Still a bit youthfully raw on the back end: I'd wait 6 to 12 months before serving this.
