A trio of 2017 single-vineyard Semillons are in front of me, and the 2017 Belford Semillon is showing the excellent vintage to its greatest possible iteration. Toasted bay leaf, brine, sun-drenched hay, roasted green apple skins, sandalwood and matcha adorn the nose, while the procession of flavor in the mouth is seemingly never-ending. It's richer and more savory than the HVD Semillon tasted before it, but it has no less of an acid line, nor glassy purity. Excellent. This has won two trophies and five gold medals at wine shows since its release.
