Apple, pithy lemon, peach, blood orange and lemongrass. Racy acidity and great minerality.

Incredible acidity will have this wine holding on in the the cellar for years. Right now that acidity helps the flavors linger. White flowers, pears, and slate nose carry to the palate along with yellow apple skin and linalool. Delicious!

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.

Apple, lemon, grapefruit, slate, hay and hints of stone fruit. Great acidity and balance.
