Heart of Gold El Dorado County Vermentino Grenache Blanc

Clean, fruit forward, a hint reminiscent of Riesling, light-bodied, very drinkable

Pairs excellently with shrimp!

Would have been aromatic and charming in any context. Enjoying it with over dinner with Steve Edmunds just made it all the more so.

Rich and full, lots of density and weight for 13.5 alc, no heat though, reminded me of Provence, apt name "heart of gold." Not much acidity, more afternoon wine than dinner. Big full delicious wine.

2012.

The ole "I'm not mad, I'm just very disappointed..." cliche in order here. Very flat....

Bubble gum, apricot, muscat/foxy aroma. Bitter, flat, not a lot. Light body. So bitter.
