Birichino Yount Mill Sémillon 2021 (6 Bottles) Santa Cruz, CA

When John Locke and Alex Krause realized they might find enough drinkers to join them in their old-vine quest, one of the first sites they turned to was the Pelissa/Hoxsey Yount Mill Vineyard in Yountville, southern Napa. Located at the cooler ‘Paris end’ of the Valley (the French Laundry is nearby), the site is on the fertile valley floor with its alluvial, sandy loam soils. These Semillon vines are now 60 years old and yield tiny amounts of flavour-packed juice.
