Broc Cellars
Fox Hill Vineyard Vermentino
Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
Ahh good to be home. Second vintage of Broc’s Vermentino, and the last of my summer shipment. I didn’t like the 2023 so much, but now I’m sure I had an off bottle. Not fully corked, but it was much funkier, which I thought was from the brief skin contact. This bottle of 24 is really nice. Lemon and citrus, light pear, salt and black pepper. Not hazy or funky like an orange wine. Nuanced but still casual.
