| 2009 Brokenwood Semillon Winery: Brokenwood Vintage: 2009 Wine Name/Vineyard: Wine Category: Semillon Grape blend: 100% Semillon Region: Hunter Valley State or country: Australia Price: $20 Cases produced: 500 KWG Score: 92 (based on 5 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89) Review date: March 7, 2011 Wine Review: This almost clear colored wine has just a tinge of white gold coloration. It opens with a mild lime and green apple bouquet with a hint of grass mixed in. On the palate, this wine is light bodied and crisp. The flavor profile is a lively green apple with a hint of minerality and green pear towards the back end. The finish is dry and refreshing. As readers know, I am not always enamored with Semillon. However, this one is very pleasant and appealing. It would pair well with a lemon drizzled swordfish. Enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: Excellent, luminous green/yellow colour. Lifted zesty, lemongrass aromas with some sweet apple blossom characters. Fruit dominant on the palate but typical tight structure with citrus acid finish. Initial lime plus cut grass flavours. Perfect balance of fruit, alcohol and acid. An impressive Semillon from a year that will reward early drinking or cellaring. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Brokenwood 2009 Semillon.
