2024 Seghesio Family Vineyards Vermentino, Russian River Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score: 91 Points

Zesty, elegant, and subtly saline-mineral on the nose, this wine offers fruit scents of honeydew melon, lychee, and a hint of preserved lemon in counterpoint. In the mouth, the flavors prove as ripe and forthcoming as expected, with quiet notes of orange and lemon peel joining in. The finish is food-worthy and lingering, and this ready-to-enjoy bottling seems designed for service with Linguini con Vongole and the like. 800 cases produced.
