- Score: 91 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Vermentino di Sardegna is complex with a burst of crushed stones and sweet smoke that gives way to ginger-tinged green apples. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness that’s perfectly offset by saline minerals and liquid stone, all coasting across silken textural waves. It finishes wonderfully fresh and with a salty flourish that keeps the mouth watering for more. Very nice. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 88 Vintage 2020 Wine Spectator Anise and Mandarin orange peel aromas and flavors are layered with juicy pineapple and melon notes in this lithe, light-bodied white. Zesty, stone-tinged finish. Drink now. 1,500 cases made, 300 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 88 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media Notes of crushed raw almonds, brown spice and nuances of peach lift up from the 2019 Vermentino di Sardegna. It’s a soft and pliant expression with mineral-tinged orchard fruits and pretty inner florals toward the close. This tapers off poised and slightly drying, a hint of apricot lingering long.

- Score: 90 Vintage 2018 Wine Spectator A dry, minerally version, with tightly meshed flavors of mango, lime granita, Thai basil and pink grapefruit peel, backed by well-cut acidity. Offers lots of smoke, spice and stone accents throughout, lingering on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2024. 3,333 cases made, 500 cases imported. –AN Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 86 Vintage 2018 Wine Enthusiast This has subdued aromas that offers mere suggestions of honeydew melon, apricot and bitter almond. The aromas carry on to the simple, rather diluted palate along with brisk acidity. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
