Don't be afraid of being different... be afraid of being the same as everyone else.
Part of the story behind the name is that this wine is a variation on the traditional White Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. However, given that good Semillon is hard to find around the Central Coast, we used Marsanne instead, which adds a bit of body and touch of honey notes. We are not aware of anyone else ever blending these two varieties, but it certainly seemed to work, with the richness and mouthfeel of Marsanne complementing the acidity and aromatics of Sauvignon Blanc. 91 Points – Purely Domestic Wine Report
