Ricardo Santos Semillon 2020

 

Straw hue with aromas of dried mango at the rim, light vanilla, gentle citrus 

Palate--Sharp acidity, mouth filling flavors of fig, and citrus with the congealed honey on the finish.

Semillon, pronounced "Seh-mee-own" is often a blending grape but is also one of the hallowed grapes of the great Sauternes wine of that region in France.  This one surprised me being from Argentina! It is nicely made and I love the racy acidity. I am pairing it with my wife's potato, bacon and horseradish soup tonight.  We'll see......

I paid around $12 I think so raise a glass!
