Reviewed July 2025Always predominantly Semillon, the 2023 Luminesce Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Seven Hills Vineyard is 60% Semillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc this vintage, all from the estate vineyard and French oak-fermented, 18% new. It has a lovely fruit expression of apple, pear, and wet stone and is firmly medium-bodied, with complexity and length. This should continue to develop another 6-8 years. (VB)

This blend of 60% semillon and 40% sauvignon blanc has fragrant aromas of jasmine, Asian pears, lemongrass and aniseed, plus a hint of lychee. It’s full-bodied and expressive, with bright acidity and a lightly waxy texture. Drink now. (CN)

Decanter
Luminesce is a Sémillon heavy blend with Sauvignon Blanc from the estate Seven Hills Vineyard site just on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley. Delicate florals announce this wine's aromatics, with jasmine, grapefruit pith and green mangoes. The palate is lively, with zesty citrus elements and ginger that lead into ripe stone fruit flesh, all brightened by citrusy zip into the finish. (CP)

Vinous
The 2023 Luminesce Estate Seven Hills Vineyard is impossible to ignore with zests of lemon and peach shavings complemented by chamomile and hints of wet stone. It soothes with soft textures and a juicy persona, blending ripe nectarines with a saline mineral tinge toward the close. A citrusy concentration puckers the cheeks, tapering off long with a sense of refinement. Gorgeous today, the 2023 is sure to excel through medium-term cellaring. (EG)
