Philip Staley

	2008 Duet - Sonoma County - Philip Staley Vineyards & Winery Duet is a California version of a Graves style Bordeaux Blanc, a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Philip first made this wine in the mid-80s when it quickly developed a cult following. The heart and soul of the wine are the two wonderful vineyards from which it is sourced: Richard Rued's small Semillon vineyards in Dry Creek, and Kent Richie's Poplar Vineyard on the Russian River. Contracts for both vineyards had remained with Philip's previous winery when he left, but he told both growers that if their grapes ever became available, he dearly wanted to work with them again. They did, and Duet was reborn. The nose is full of aromas of melon, pear, and ripe fig with the characteristic grassiness of the Sauvignon Blanc. This light, crisp wine is exceptionally refreshing and also the perfect foil for seafood, especially oysters. It drinks beautifully now, but will gain complexity over the next two to three years.

	2007 Semillon, Dry Creek Valley - Philip Staley Vineyards & Winery Semillon is a varietal used in the white wines of Bordeaux and provides the base for the finest Sauternes in the world. In California, Semillon is occasionally used to provide some richness in Sauvignon Blanc, but rarely bottled on its own. Phil Staley loves to take on unusual varietals, and with this Semillon he has produced a wine with a pretty nose of honeydew and key lime pie. On the palate the wine has zippy acidity perfectly suited to deep-fried oysters or grilled halibut with a lemon beurre blanc.
