Fuller bodied coastal Vermentino from Tuscany. Very classic expression, nose of honey, toasted almonds, yellow apples, ocean spray. Nice mid-palate depth with a lingering crisp finish. 
90-91 pts from all critics
 terrific. Green apple, mint, jasmine, tangerine peel and light tropical accents are all beautifully delineated in a Vermentino that offers notable depth and complexity. There's an exotic quality ... that is incredibly alluring.
 intense yet elegant, offering floral, peach, lemon and wild herb aromas and flavors. Supple and harmonious, leaving a mouthwatering, salty impression on the tangy finish.   2,500 cases imported
 heady aroma of citrus, wild herb and a whiff of tropical fruit. Medium-bodied but light on its feet, the tangy palate offers ripe peach, pineapple and Myer lemon before closing on a saline note. Fresh acidity keeps it bright.

Match made in heaven with richer seafood dishes.
