A very pleasant bottle, very enjoyable and it has the requisite identifying characteristics of Vermentino. Herbaceous notes of rosemary and fennel/aniseed and it has the saline or sea salt kick that I look for from this variety. Perhaps this bottling comes up short on the QPR but we enjoyed it over two nights.

One year on this is showing really well. Citrus and some pineapple without being at all 'tropical.' (Occasionally I sniff something that reminds me of rosemary, too.) Clean, bright, oak-less, with a fairly modest level of alcohol. This was my last bottle but I like it enough to be eyeing the 2018 now. Well done.

This is very nice, citrus and yeast on the nose, nice crisp citrus flavors of Meyer lemon and bitter orange, is not a bitter wine, moderate acidity, medium finish this is excellent will definitely buy more.

Very pale yellow; no legs; crisp cantoloupe on the nose; fresh melon up front, tangy, a touch of oak on the finish

Light yellow. Floral nose. Ripe white peach, a bit of spiced pear. There’s a lot going on in this for a $25 bottle of wine. Terrific!
