What a beautiful take on Vermentino. Decidedly California in style, but the wine bears some resemblance to the classic Italian versions. Light golden in color with some green hues. Medium bodied. The nose has a bit of citrus (tangerine) along with slight guava notes. Slightly viscous. Excellent cut. On the palate, more lemon than tangerine with nice underlying minerality. Lively acidity but no sharp edges makes this very easy to drink. The acidity and minerality set this apart from so many Napa whites. Nice finish. Consumed over two nights, this was even better on night 2. This should probably be consumed in the next five years but it would be interesting to see how it does age. Great on its own, this will work well with pork chops.
