Very Good++. Another very nice Vermentino from Tablas Creek. If somebody knows of a better year in and year our Vermentino from California, let me know. While this vintage doesn't have quite the combination of citrus, citrus zest, and foreground minerality, it is still all there and this is more than a porch sipping wine.

TCV's Vermentino is remarkably consistent from vintage to vintage. The 2021 is quite rewarding and seems a tad more intense. In addition to the typical grapefruit and lime essences, there is a subtler element - aromatically but distantly suggestive of Gewurztraminer, making the 2021 unusually alluring, a hint of rose and lychee.

Not as good as I have come to expect from this wine and producer, especially in such a vintage as 2021.

Great example of what this wine can be. Personally, I have never had one from Italy this good and the 2021 vintage made this wine hum.

One of the best examples of this wine, domestic or old world. The terrior in PR seems particularly suited to this grape. Great acid. Nice fruit.

Refreshing, well balanced tastes of citrus fruits, minerals and tropical fruits.
