This Livermore-based producer continues to impress with a range of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese whites. This Verdelho no exception, a grape that in Europe makes its way into Madeira. This Lodi-sourced version is a rich white with layers of texture on the diesel, flint and gravelly side of things with plenty of acidity, kiwi notes and a long finish.——V.B.(9/1/2011)—— 88

A flowery, middle of the road Chardonnay with baked sour apple and citrus predominating, it’s fine at the price and a reasonable mid-week option with roast chicken. ——V.B.(9/1/2011)—— 85

Quite a nice white wine for its acidity and sophistication, which is a function of the crispness. Shows clean, lively flavors of citrus fruits, peaches, wildflowers and vanilla, with umami notes of cashew nut and foie gras. Dry, but feels honey-rich on the finish.——S.H.(2/1/2010)—— 88

Not much aroma out of this wine at first. From one of Livermore’s better vineyards, Ghielmetti, this Malbec has a tannic backbone, is quite dry, very ripe and with the requisite blue and blackberry and hint of clove. Not as layered as it could be.——V.B.(9/1/2011)—— 86
