Barboursville Vineyards Reserve Vermentino 2017 Review

Look, this grape is called Vermentino and is native to the mediterranean. But this Vermentino is grown and made in Virginia and if you see it don’t pass it up. The wine is well structured, with zippy acidity promoting lemony citrus notes with a little creme de mint. It’s crisp on the palate with a mineral-driven mouthfeel like a wet stone from a babbling brook (for real). This wine is worthy of your cash, and may be a new regular on your credit card statement.
