:NB 2023 Purring Cat White Blend – This is 50/50 Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc. The five days of skin contact and barrel aging on the lees has made this a rich, mouth-coating wine, ready for immediate enjoyment. The palate weaves together flavors of apple, pear and dried grasses that give it an autumnal twist perfect for the season. It continues into a lightly spicy, lingering finish, touching briefly upon candied fruit and chai tea. 87 cases; 13.6%; $30 (Yakima Valley) 92/100
