Spann Vineyards Betsy's Backacher Semillon-Chardonnay 2010 (California)

This wine is 60% Semillon and 40% Chardonnay and produced by SPANN Vineyards out of California. Rated 89 by Wine Enthusiast, not that it matters we all like what we like and have different palates.

Interesting wine to say the least, I purchased this wine for $16 and was not sure what to expect but I enjoy Semillon and Chardonnay so I gave it a try. This is a great wine! Everyone needs a couple of bottles!

In the glass this wine was light yellow with aromas of pineapple and creamy vanilla with a touch of exotic notes. On the Palate apricots, more exotic fruit notes with pineapple and vanilla. This wine is full-bodied and just a touch of sweetness yet complex with a nice finish.

This wine would pair well with Almond Trout, Salmon and many cream sauce dishes. Also great to drink by it's self.
