40 years ago, a visionary grape grower named Bill Dillian planted these beautiful, head-trained Semillon vines in the sandy soils of Amador County, California - Shenandoah Valley AVA. Andis Wines took the chance to produce wine from this vineyard without knowing that one day it would be recognized by critics as a "Hidden Gem of California." the unique micro-climate and the high elevation of the Sierra Foothills develop fruit with great acidity and balance. Aromas of green apple, fig, and honeysuckle make for a dry, crisp white winemaking. It a great companion for delicate cuisine.

This wine is pleasantly rich in texture and ripe in flavor, showing a range of citrus, fresh herb, honey, and fennel bulb nuances accompanied by a tangy but mouth-filling presence. It's a good opportunity to enjoy a class varietal that's rare in California. JIM GORDON
