2012 Five Friends Orange Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The 2012 Five Friends Orange Semillon Sauvignon Blanc was further evidence for me that Orange provides one of the most distinctively terroir-driven portfolios of wines in the country. The SB retained its grassy character, so my drinking partner and I both loved it, though I got a headache (he didn’t). (I tend not to rebuy headache-driven wines because they always fulfil their promise.)
