Winemaker Notes

The 2012 vintage Gemini is a blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Initial fruit aromas of pineapple and mango are evident, yet subtle. The flavors are soft and round, with a palate texture reminiscent of custard. While very enjoyable now, patience in aging will add depth and complexity to the experience that only a predominately Semillon based wine like Gemini will give. This is a singular and very special white wine from the Napa Valley.

Sometimes light and crisp, other times rich and creamy, Bordeaux White Blends typically consist of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Often, a small amount of Muscadelle or Sauvignon Gris is included for added intrigue. Popularized in Bordeaux, the blend is often mimicked throughout the New World. Somm Secret—Sauternes and Barsac are usually reserved for dessert, but they can be served before, during or after a meal. Try these sweet wines as an aperitif with jamón ibérico, oysters with a spicy mignonette or during dinner alongside hearty Alsatian sausage.
