BUY THE WINE

Simon Field | Light color, then an attractive nose of summer flowers, limes, and almond. Weight on the palate buttressed by shards of deft acidity and a firm fruit character, albeit a touch foursquare. Authoritative on the finish. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Pale bright gold. Vidiano isn’t quite as overtly charming as Thrapsathiri, but there is plenty to enjoy nonetheless: a minted pea and pea-flower freshness and a cool charm. It’s pure and limpid on the palate, with ample fresh acidity and slightly more muted weight and structure than its peers (which some may relish). | 87

Demetri Walters | Notable vinosity and poise here. Though delicately stone-fruited and showing hints of ripe apple and lemon, this wine is as much about non-fruit interest and texture as it is about fruity approachability. Quite weighty and showing notable savory complexity. | 90
