Kings Carey 2017 Vogelzang Vineyard Semillon (Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara)
Editors' Choice
A single-varietal Sémillon bottling is hard to come by in California, but this bottling shows that it fits somewhere between Chardonnay and white Rhônes. Crushed hazelnuts, saffron, preserved lemon and canola oil show on the intriguing nose. Bright lemony acidity drives the palate through nutty flavors and a grippy texture. Matt Kettmann
