Eye: Light brassy gold color.Nose: Sharp nose at first, but with airing it develops a rich, waxy lanolin character with pepper, as well as buttery pear and banana fruit.
Mouth: Deeply flavored, full-bodied, but soft, with peppery pear, grass, and stone flavors. Long finish.
Score: 88.
Drink or cellar? My experience with full-bodied semillons is that they age pretty well for a white. This one may keep and improve for a year or two, but is pleasurable now.
Price/store: $14.59 at Spec's on Richmond.

The photo is the Woodcutter's Shiraz.
David Powell is one of my favorite winemakers. It is amazing how he can consistently produces intense Shiraz that sell for hundreds of dollars, and still mass produce some good quality inexpensive wines like this and the Woodcutter's Shiraz.
Oops. Thanks for the catch. Fixed.
