Massican 2022 Gemina White   

2022 Massican “Gemina” Proprietary White wine, California

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 93 Points

This is a truly exceptional wine, charming from the first sip, and vinified from grapes rarely encountered on these shores. The nose opens with vibrant zest and cutting minerality at center stage, with lovely aromas of fresh pear and apple sauce in counterpoint. The mid-palate fruit iproves rich in character and tongue coating in texture yet vibrantly fresh. In the mouth everything is bright but scaldingly dry, so the wine virtually cries out for food service. Flavors of pear skin and slate are highlights of the lingering finish. Wonderfully versatile, it will be as delicious with raw oysters as with a grilled pear, walnut, romaine lettuce and blue cheese salad. A blend of 62% Greco and 38% Falanghina. 843 cases produced.
