Barboursville Vineyards
Reserve Vermentino


This wine looks yellow-gold with a greenish tint to it. The nose is quite aromatic, displaying a floral note along with massive citrus minerality. The palate has lemon, lime and grapefruit flavors joined by a wonderful salinity. The acidity is very fresh, but the mouthfeel has, overall, a rather soft touch. It’s great to find a Vermentino of this quality that’s made in America. Virginia is for Vermentino lovers, I suppose.

2011 Barboursville Vineyards Vermentino. The 2011 vintage was a rough one in Virginia, but amidst & from it, Luca Pascina added just the right amount of neutral oak to bookend what may very well become a new staple for Virginia collectors and international connoisseurs as well. You watch. When the more zesty, ripe, stainless-produced 2012's come along make sure to give it a swing. Specially with linguine in clam sauce. Oy.
