Fine Disregard, Napa Valley Semillion, 2018
Semillon is nearly impossible to find in Napa — it's been priced out by Cabernet and is notoriously prone to rot — which is exactly why Mike Schieffelin of Fine Disregard wanted to make it. He fell for the grape working in Australia's Hunter Valley and now bottles it from rare old Napa vines, picking early to keep it dry and fresh. Made in the house minimalist style with native yeasts and judicious oak used as a vessel, not a flavor. The result is a textured, age-worthy white with vibrant acidity. A genuine rarity. Don't over-chill.
