Thomas The O.C. Semillon 2009
Honest enough, but lacking its usual intensity and streamlined shape. Its estery bouquet of melon, lime and sherbet reveals a suggestion of bruised fruit, while its marginally dilute palate of melon and tobaccoey fruit does fall away a little before a clean, dry finish of lemony acids.

Winery
Thomas
Andrew Thomas has fashioned a stable of distinctive Hunter wines from its traditional varieties of shiraz and semillon. What makes them unique is their obvious association with benchmarks from the past, their highly polished, spotless nature and balance, plus something a little less tangible and ethereal that makes them completely delicious. The whites are pure, fresh and mineral, while the reds deliver pristine, intense aromas and flavours with remarkable elegance and savoury charm. Over the years Thomas has steadily added to its range, finding sites able to deliver traditional regional style as well as points of difference to existing wines.
