Our 2013 Vermentino highlights this varietal’s unique qualities which makes it a perfect complement to seafood and lighter Mediterranean-type meals. 47.5% of the blend originates from the Sunnybrook Vineyard in San Luis Opisbo county, providing a foundation of ripe apple and pineapple flavors. Lovett Vineyard, in the Red Hills of Lake County AVA, contributes the other 52.5%, with bright acidity and light citrus notes. The resulting blend rewards with a delightful citrusy, herbal nose, a full mouthfeel, followed by refreshing acidity at the finish. This wine is best served well-chilled, and when paired with simply prepared grilled fish, it evokes great dinners in port side restaurants along the beautiful coast of Italy. It takes us there every time.
Medium ruby color; complex, deep, cherry aromas with some earthy and herbal notes; lush cherry flavors with earthy notes; good structure and balance; long finish. This is a good medium-bodied Pinot with all earthiness and flavor.
