Class Comments As the profusion of Gold, Silver and Bronze medals indicates, a great class of young semillons from a great vintage. Anyone who thinks that semillons are all the same should taste these wines, and see the many faces of the variety.

Class Comments Good class which caused lengthy discussion on past and future directions for Hunter style. One concern is continued use (though diminishing) of MLF; another is the care which must be used in selection and handling of oak. Finally, winemakers have to watch how quickly their wines develop.
