  Very similar to my impressions on the 2018. Lushly textured, prettily fruited, fresh, elegant, clean, complex, and versatile. I would highly encourage anyone interested in Vermentino to seek out this stellar example. $42.

  Color: medium straw
  Nose: high complexity, evolution with air is staggering. Starts with tons of sour almond. It then goes into a yellow fruit (dark ripe peach) and bellflower territory, to then even display licorice and lemon blossom characteristics backed by tons of minerals
  Palate: medium-high acidity, medium-full body. Mossy stone. Creamy and oily mouthfeel. At the same time, hyper fresh. Minerals, stones, the fruit and flowers from the nose persist. Salty and a shade bitter
  Finish: long
  
  No bullshit, just truckloads of complexity framed in a way that seafood and shellfish in particular is the only reasonable thing to do here. Incredibly graceful at room temp. So many layers, a fullness that is the sign of superb winemaking given this is a zero barrel deal. Best white of the year so far, I am very impressed. This is a 2019 that tells a wonderful story, no need for age.

  Lovely sweet candied lemon with a bitter grapefruit twist on the finish. Good body. Long.

  Light color. An elegant aroma of wildflowers (accacia), citrus, honey, ripe fruits. On palate medium+ acidity balanced with fruits. Medium + finish. Elegant.
