Always estate grown and 100% varietal, Beresan makes one of the best Semillons in the state. Exceptionally dry and crisp, this again suggests sweet grain, citrus and light tropical fruits. Notes of lemon oil and even a hint of diesel come in as subtleties. Though not as full-bodied and rich as the 2006, it’s an excellent, well-made bottle, more in the style of a Bordeaux blanc.——P.G.(5/1/2009)—— 90
