PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEWS:
*"In 1987 Fleur de Carneros began producing wines that are approachable and delightful. In the many years since, we have upgraded the source of fruit for Fleur de California wines and we have included more of our estate fruit in the wines. With better quality fruit comes better quality wines and Winemaker Ken Foster takes full advantage of the wonderful fruit we receive from our estate vineyards and those of our friends and neighbors.

Decades of experience in the vineyards and cellars of renowned California wine regions have given winemaker Ken Foster a comprehensive, top-down view of terroir and its effects on the wine in the bottle. Ken physically walks the vineyards, samples the fruit, calls the pick dates, and then crafts the Fleur de California wines to express pure varietal character as a representation of the source of the grapes.
This lovely and aromatic Italian varietal is grown primarily in vineyards with a proximity to the Mediterranean coastline. Our cool, coastal Carneros vineyards make these grapes feel right at home too.This Vermentino has a most inviting aromatic profile, with apple, flower, ripe melon, and citrus notes. On the palate, the citrus and green apple flavors are crisp and bright, yet also soft,supple, and broad across the palate. An intriguing hint of minerality in the background sets this
wine apart from other Italian varietals".

PRODUCT REVIEWS:
Wine Enthusiast 90 Points:
With a waxy texture on entry, this is a floral, layered and flavorful white with just enough viscosity to keep it smooth and expansive on the palate. Crenshaw melon, peach and honeydew all glide along a crisp, acid-driven center.
