More dillydork from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. This was a beautiful example of how great an aged Calif Semillon can be. It reminds a lot of old LouisMartini aged Semillon of 20 yrs but w/ more oak; as good as many aged HunterVlly Semillon but not as acid nor oaked. This is as good as Calif Semillon gets.

I don't have any older Karatas. Apparently the current edition uses Semillon from Bedrock Vineyard, as they bottled the tiny amount of Monte Rosso Semillion separately. Allocations of that wine were downright tiny.

I had a bunch of the 09, good fruit but the wine never got past the oak

They have dramatically moderated their oak regime in recent years.
