Myriad Cellars McGah Family Vineyard Semillon Napa Valley, USA, 2017

Description

The 2017 Myriad McGah Family Vineyard Semillon is a beautifully crafted Napa Valley white from acclaimed winemaker Mike Smith, showcasing the rare and expressive character of Semillon. Sourced from the prestigious McGah Family Vineyard in southern Napa Valley, this limited-production wine emphasizes purity, texture, and vibrant freshness.

Unlike many richer white wines, this Semillon balances generous fruit with lively acidity and subtle mineral notes, delivering a wine of remarkable elegance and aging potential. It is a distinctive expression of a classic Bordeaux variety interpreted through the lens of Napa Valley terroir.

Tasting Notes

The nose reveals aromas of Meyer lemon, white peach, ripe pear, honeysuckle, citrus blossom, and fresh herbs, with delicate hints of beeswax and wet stone. The palate is silky and layered, offering flavors of lemon curd, orchard fruit, melon, and subtle honeyed notes balanced by bright acidity and a refined mineral finish. Rich in texture yet exceptionally fresh, the wine finishes long and beautifully focused.
