A 50-50 blend, with aromas and flavors of green pea, mineral and citrus. It’s a fresh, crisp wine, but don’t let the Sauvignon component bring visions of puckery, zesty New Zealand editions to mind. Nope. The Sem is an equal partner, adding both heft and a musky, haylike accent. It’s nice to see value-priced wines from somewhere other than South Eastern Australia, too.
