Green-gold. Spicy lemon and lime on the nose, with a strong mineral undertone. The tangy citrus flavors take a riper turn on the palate, which shows pear and melon qualities. Gains flesh with air and finishes broad and persistent. This is a steal
Wine & Spirits: Score: 86.

Wine & Spirits:
The 2007 Verdejo is the first example of that grape variety to be produced in the DO. The grapes were sourced from a vineyard planted in 1998 with small yields of only 1.6 tons per acre. Light straw-colored, it offers up a nose of mineral and melon. This leads to a round wine with concentrated flavors and good balance. Drink it over the next 12-18 months. Score: 86. —Jay Miller, August 2008.
