This has the "it" factor. Sometimes, you find something special when you least expect it. I've been a fan of good Vermentino for years, but there's plenty of mediocre versions out there. This one excels in every way. It has a textural quality that is compelling, it's round, weighty, super smooth and enticing. There's a ripe fruit character with an underlying character of fennel. Fans of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris will enjoy this one. It's meant to be drank while fresh, drink on the day it's opened. You'll want to keep a bottle in the fridge at all times. Serve well-chilled as a starter wine or with roasted artichokes. I really liked it with an Asian salad. Total production under 1500 cases. Drink now through 2020.
