2011 Carlisle Winery "The Derivative"

Was introduced to this wine recently by a friend.  An interesting blend of 66% Semillon, 24% Muscadelle, and 10% Chasselas Dore.  Spicy,sweet melon flavor profile with hints of lemon.  Attractive botrytis-like nose.  Wonderful Apéritif wine...notes on the wine bottle indicate that it is sourced from vines planted between 1886 and 1920. From Sonoma County, and the talented hands of Mike Officer and Jay Maddox.
