White Wine 2023

Vermentino

Vermentino · Willow Creek District

Tasting Notes

lemon blossomalmondwhite grapefruitfennel frondsaline

An unusual variety for California, Vermentino found its home in the calcareous limestone soils of the Willow Creek District. We've vinified it as they do in Sardinia — cold fermentation, stainless steel, no oak — letting the variety's natural saline character ring out.

Nose

Bright and aromatic — lemon blossom, crushed almond, and a distinctive fennel-herb note that recalls the wild scrubland of the vineyard's edges.

Palate

Light to medium body with a vibrant, almost sharp acidity. The palate shows white grapefruit, green almond, and an alluring bitter finish that is quintessentially Vermentino.

Finish

Crisp and clean with a pleasantly bitter almond note.

Food Pairings

Grilled branzino
Burrata with herbs
Fried calamari
Lemon pasta

Cellar Notes

"Vermentino is best enjoyed between 2026 and 2035. Decant for 45 minutes if drinking young. Serve at 60–65°F in a Bordeaux glass."
