Lemon, grapefruit, and some yellow apple with a European-style bitter note and sharp acidity on the short to medium finish. This is a good value at about $15.

An always enjoyable alternative to Sauv Blanc or Chard. Not austere, lighter on the acidity, but dry with slightly restrained fruit notes with a lot of depth. Paired perfectly with my spouse's shrimp scampi, but would make a great warmer weather quaffer. Easy to drink, just fun. Same year after year. From Vermentino grape via Sardinia. A bargain at $15. Second bottle on March 21: same results. Highly recommend.

Medium-bodied with lemon and lime flavors but only moderate acidity. Zesty up front but the acidity fades away while the citrus aromas linger much longer along with notes of nectarine, tropical fruits, and some herbs (rosemary? mint?). The lime and tropical fruit flavors are what linger (along with a light minerality) and make me want coconut shrimp with a spicy dipping sauce on a tropical beach. Not complicated, but super fun!

Clear, bright, med yellow. Med+ ripe yellow apple, grapefruit, lemon zest, nectarine, unripe pineapple, savory herbs, salted almonds & wet stone. All stainless steel. Dry, but w/ plenty of ripe fruit, med to med+ acidity & high but well integrated alcohol (14.0%). It is med+ bodied, w/ med+ to pronounced flavors and a long, crisp, slightly bitter grapefruit & salty olive brine finish. Well balanced and complex; an incredible value at $17 and under. It should appeal to New World Chardonnay lovers who do not like oak or New Zealand Sauvignon lovers who want less grass and more tropical fruit.

Pop n pour. Now 1h after opening. Nice aromas of peaches, unripe pears, ripe apples, some minerals and a hint of sea breeze. Palate w tart apples, unripe pears, some minerals,and just a bit of salt. Moderately long finish. Nice weight and cool concentration. Excellent acids. More fruit forward and straight forward. But this is well made and delicious. Went really well w caprese salad w prosciutto.

Clean and fresh with a bright acidity and clean white fruit flavors. The only Vermentino I’ve had stateside that matched up to what we had in Italy :-)

Light gold in color. Golden apple and floral nose. Dry, medium plus bodied, medium plus acid, bitter finish. I found the bitterness distracting but paired with spaghetti squash and pesto sauce, this went well.

Pale yellow. Interesting combination of aromas showing pineapple, pear and maybe a hint of coconut. Pineapple , citrus and ripe tropical fruits on the palate. Slight bitterness on the finish but otherwise quite delicious.

Light gold in glass
Lot of licorice in slightly unctuous texture. Rich and complex on palate, almost Rhone depth.
Very long
