Tonight I’m drinking the Amavi 2014 Sémillon. According to the winemaker notes on Amavi’s website, it:
smells like: honeysuckle, orange blossom, lemon zest, wet stones
tastes like: granny smith apple, grapefruit, honeydew melon
mouthfeel: refreshing acidity, rich & balanced structure
drink with: rich fish & shellfish; spicy dishes
Varietal(s): 85% Sémillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc
Vineyard(s): 46% Les Collines, 29% Seven Hills, 25% Goff
Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
Oak Program: 100% neutral French Oak
I paired mine with some leftover Étouffée from our fabulous local Cajun restaurant. It goes nicely with the spice of the dish. It is perfect for this hot summer Pacific Northwest evening!
I could have sworn that I had some photos of my visit there last summer, but I can’t seem to find them, so you’ll just have to check out their website to see how amazing their setup is. If you go, sit on the deck. Trust me, just do it…
Happy Sunday, I hope your week gets off to a good start…
Thanks for taking me back to my visit to Amavi from a couple of years ago.
You are most welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it – Amavi was a great place!
Yup, sit on the deck when you visit; I can vouch for that. Gorgeous views, wonderful weather (although hot this week) and terrific wines to taste.
Yes! I need to make another trip over there at some point…
Let us know, you can stay with us if you would like.
