Along the upper reaches of the Lewis-Clark Valley near Tammany Creek, grower/winemaker Paul Sullivan has found a sweet spot for Sèmillon and used the white Bordeaux to attain his first Platinum. The golden color brings with it a lightly floral nose with apple blossom, fresh peach and springtime lemongrass. The pour is one of pineapple, sweet peach tea and Pink Lady apple, joined by a pinch of sea salt. With just a touch of residual sugar, it created thoughts of a pancake brunch.
