Amavi 2006 Sémillon; $20

Riesling has been rediscovered, and other Washington white wine grapes all seem to have their proponents. But pure-blooded sémillon such as this gorgeous bottle from Amavi still ranks among Washington's best-kept secrets. Winemaker Jean-Francois Pellet, who also makes wines for Pepper Bridge, grew up in Switzerland and has a particular fondness for white wine grapes. This creamy, leesy new release is packed with flavors of apple, melon and pear. It's rich enough for hearty cream sauces but crisp enough to accompany delicate seafood. (Distributed by Acme)
