Reeve Sonoma County Vermentino

$38.00

Nothing about this should make sense on its face.

Vermentino is a classic Italian varietal that finds its home along the Tuscan coast and the hills of Sardinia, where the heat is relentless and the sea keeps everything honest. The Reeve bottling — a passion project from the people who built Banshee before selling it to focus on smaller, higher-quality production — takes advantage of a similarly warm climate among Sonoma's rolling hillsides, and makes a tiny amount of it. The result is something bright and saline with just enough weight to feel serious. It shouldn't work. It does.
