VERMENTINO
gourmet pairings
A great wine with oysters on
the half shell or any seafood
in general. Linguine with clam
sauce is my favorite.
tasting notes
The 2016 Vermentino has a
classic Vermentino nose of
grapefruit pith, citrus leaf, fresh herbs and sea spray, but with an
extra level of creaminess beyond what we usually see, like key
lime pie. The palate is zingy with flavors of lemon, nectarine, and a
briny mineral note that comes out on the long, clean, bright finish.
Drink now and over the next few years.
winemaker's insight
The 2016 Tablas Creek Vineyard Vermentino is Tablas Creek's
fourteenth bottling of this traditional Mediterranean varietal,
known principally in Sardinia, Corsica, and Northern Italy. It is
also grown in the Rhone Valley (particularly Côtes de Provence)
where it is known as Rolle. The Vermentino grape produces wines
that are bright, clean, and crisp, with distinctive citrus character,
refreshing acidity and surprising richness.
