2022 Filomena Vermentino, Unti Vineyard, Dry Creek Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92+ Points

Elegantly rich and quietly zesty, the nose of this gently palate-coating wine poises youthfully shy scents of lychee, quince, apricot pit, fresh lime, white peach and white pepper above a backdrop of saline minerality. The flavors are more forthcoming on the palate, where piquant fruit, peppery notes and sea shell salinity create a harmony that uplifts the fruit. The lingering finish is scaldingly dry, in line with the grape’s classic varietal profile, and everything about the wine suggests service with sea food or shellfish entrees. It is ready to enjoy. 50 cases produced.
