A little something missing.

Oh, I really wanted to like this wine; the concept was very appealing, that of a bottle-aged white wine (and a Semillon to boot) made by a woman winemaker. The 2014 Little Frances Semillon, Luchsinger Vineyard (Lake County) produced by Aussie, Erin Pooley, promised to be something I would enjoy on many levels. Alas, the wine, a gift from a neighbour, was undrinkable. There was something a little funky on the nose, a little too heavy-handed of an approach to acidulation and, most unfortunately, little to no fruit. A real shame.

Interesting! I get the "really wanted to"; been there done that.
France is where Semillon reaches greatness, and Little Frances just needs a grande soeur!
A big miss from the miss....I'm a comedian! Dennis too.
NHW: Expectations (of a wine) can sometimes lead to disappointment.
Have had some lovely Semillon in U.S., e.g., Stag's Leap's Rancho Chimiles.
Thud: I just expect that sort of humour from you :)
VG: Stag's Leap (apostrophe-s)
Thud: I would miss your sense of humor!
NHW: Yes, that Stag's Leap (Wine Cellars.)
