"This was the first time I had tasted the 1992 Kalin Cellars Sémillon and the wine showed beautifully, as it has now entered its apogee of peak maturity and is drinking with impressive complexity and grace. Like all mature examples of Kalin Sémillon, the 1992 open up beautifully as it has had some extended aeration, eventually offering up a complex and vibrant bouquet of hazelnuts, baked apples, orange peel, sweet browned butter, salty soil tones and a lovely topnote of toasted coconut. On the palate the wine is deep, full and complex, with outstanding focus and balance, bright, zesty acids and a very long, refined and vibrant finish. While the 1992 vintage of Sémillon from Terry and Frances Leighton is fully mature at age twenty-five, it still is at its peak and has plenty of life still ahead of it. Gorgeous wine."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Prized both for age-worthy dry whites and, when affected by noble rot, the great sweet wines of Sauternes. It offers waxy texture and honeyed depth.
