Editors' Choice

Price $30

This beautiful Semillon-dominant blend that shows great finesse, depth and power. Rich and opulent in every way, notes of baked red apple, lemon verbena, honey-drizzled peach and sweet orange oil flood the nose and mouth, while additional flavors of hazelnut cream, fig bread and soft sweet spice carry into the long finish.

Bizoe 2009 Henrietta Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc (Western Cape)

Price $26

With only 15 cases imported, this might be a hard find but certainly worth the trouble.

Round and full but not overly heavy thanks to lifting tropical fruit-like acidity. — L.B. (8/1/2011)
