Tasting note

The 2013 Candy should suggest baked quince, dried apricot and a touch of beeswax, with citrus peel lending contrast. Alexander Valley Sémillon is expected to feel rounded and soft, its fruit balanced by a line of acidity that keeps the palate from seeming broad. The stated drinking horizon has passed, making sound storage especially important. If the bottle is holding well, a gentle finish of orchard fruit and honeyed spice may remain.
