Scholium Project 'Naucratis' Lost Slough Vineyards 2009
"This 100-percent Verdelho is vintner Abe Schoener's answer to a crisp, great-drinking California White. During Abe's recent visit to our Napa Valley wine offices, it was this offering that whetted our curiosity into all the interesting ways Abe goes about creating his wines. Fermented in 100-percent stainless steel, Abe sources all of his Verdelho from Lost Slough Vineyard which, if you look on a map, is closer to Sacramento than Napa Valley. As a result, the fruit soaks up the California sunshine to ensure a melon-y, stone fruit complexity in the bottle." - Kerrin Laz (Dean and Deluca) $19.99
