2017 Tablas Creek Vermentino
Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 12, 2018 - Even ~1/4 of a bottle left overnight was nice the second night. This is not as mineral-inflected as I've liked in recent Tablas vintages, but it is still another winner. Lively and slightly rounded ripe fruit and a nice finish.

And that says something nice about Tablas Creek - this vintage is less appealing than the prior two, yet is delightful (IMO). Still searching for a comparable domestic Vermentino. (I'm going to pick up a bottle of Palmina's and do a 'study' if I can get around to it.)
