Country: US / Voluptuous
Variety: Vermentino California
Winery: Clavo Cellars / Paso Robles
The nose on this rarely used grape is indeed voluptuous with caramel richness alongside seared pears and vanilla. It’s bright at the tip of the sip, then the denser vanilla-bean notes settle in, evolving to smoked apples and a slight crème brûlée aftertaste.
