Avivo "Ledbetter Family Vineyards" Lodi Vermentino 2023

Vin Chicago: 89 Points

(8/2026) Though inland, Lodi's sunshine helps create a convincing rendition of Italy's star coastal grape, Vermentino. From top-level farming by the Ledbetter family, they adhere to organic, biodynamic and regenerative agriculture methodologies, typically not the case for wines at this price! Notes of muskmelon, pineapple, cream soda, mango skin, hay and a kiss of seaspray. The acidity is vibrant and it will make for a guiltless, stately aperitif wine.

Wine Enthusiast : 91 Points

(12/31/2025) Fresh, lively, aromatic notes on the nose are citrus, green guava, and white flowers, which glide into flavors of white grapefruit segments, youthful white peach with acidity and mineral dancing across the palate, finishing on thoughts of sunshine and an afternoon by the pool.
