Bonny Doon Vinho Grinho is a playful blend of loureiro and albariño 2009. The wine is Demeter-certified biodynamic® from the Ca’ del Solo Vineyard in Monterey County, California. Vinho Grinho is a play on Vinho Verde, a Portuguese white made with loureiro. It’s like they’ve bottled the terroir from the Iberian peninsula and let it loose in Monterey. On the nose, the wine jumps forth with citrus, lemon-oil, peach, floral, and herb garden (bay leaf and thyme in particular). It smells like a fresh morning. The palate is worthy of Jenny’s large gulp – fresh spring water infused with peach and citrus. This wine is young and vibrant and should be consumed as such! 88 points.
