Amavi Cellars’ 2010 Semillon contains 12% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from estate-grown fruit. It was barrel-fermented and aged in neutral French oak. Candle wax, melon, white peach, and herbs intermingle with elements of honeysuckle and mineral to form the wine’s enticing bouquet. This sets the stage for a medium-bodied, savory, vibrant wine that nicely displays the lively natural acidity of the 2010 vintage. Nicely proportioned and lengthy, this well-made offering will drink well for several more years. Tel. (509) 525-3541; www.amavicellars.com

This light and fresh Semillon is all Walla Walla Valley fruit, with 12% Sauvignon Blanc in the blend. Apples and pear-skin flavors carry a hint of cinnamon. Lighter in the mouth than previous Amavi Semillons, this elegant wine would be a good match to light seafood and shellfish.——P.G.(4/1/2012)—— 88
