Review
A blend of the best barrels of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, it’s named after the 12th century Queen of England. The nose is layered with lime, grapefruit, pineapple, and toasted coconut. Similar flavors predominate on the palate of this rich, provocative wine. Open a bottle with your favorite shellfish and enjoy.
