The Amavi 2008 Semillon (which contains 11% Sauvignon Blanc) was aged briefly in seasoned French oak. It is light gold colored with an alluring nose of acacia, mineral, and melon. Creamy textured with excellent depth and concentration, on the palate notes of baking spices, citrus, and melon emerge leading to a pure, fruit-filled finish. Drink this tasty effort over the next 3 years. Tel. (509) 525-3541; www.amavicellars.com
