The lost block used to be produced from a single vineyard
that was left on the vine a little longer to allow for greater fruit
development. Now it is produced from a variety of vineyard in a house style
sort of manner.
Tyrrell's Wines The Lost Block Semillon 2013
Lemon rind and orange peel makes me feel good that is higher
in palate weight than I am used to for a wine of this age. The wine drinks well
now but will look better with six months under its belt. Currently the wine is
fruit forward but has enough acidity to hold it all together and finish
vibrantly. I would drink this over many sav blanc but it still offers many of
those good easy drinking characters that are associated with that variety.
Alcohol: 11.5%
Price: $18 but try the outlets as it might be cheaper
Drink: now - 2016
