2025 William Lane Vermentino Alder Springs, Mendocino

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92+ Points

Vividly bright and varietal in aromatics, the nose of this lovely bottling is a medley of focused lychee, mango and passion fruit in harmony with an notable undercurrent of saline minerality. It is at once vibrant, palate-coating and delightfully tongue-teasing in support of the same slightly tropical-mineral and saline flavors, as these linger beautifully to make this clearly food-worthy wine seductive with even without accompaniment.
