Our sixth vintage of the esoteric Italian varietal Vermentino albeit with a Californian twist—has reached its stride in the vineyard, full stop. Originally hailing from coastal Tuscany and Sardinia, it embodies a unique expression from its perch nestled in the volcanic soils of the Sierra foothills. We harvest at night, gently whole-cluster-press, and ferment in stainless steel, all to retain freshness. To add a touch of roundness to the wine, we age briefly sur lie. The resulting wine is of a brilliant lemon hue with hints of chartreuse at the meniscus, teeming with tropical aromatic notes — from green papaya to mango and nascent pineapple and a burst of sea spray. The palate gives way to a rich palette of citrus flavors from zest to fresh juice, bursting with flavor, this mouthwatering wine is nothing short of exuberant with a personality truly its own.
Winemaking
Whole cluster pressed, fermented in stainless steel, aged sur lie for seven months.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs happily with any apt Tuesday and a nice miso-glazed black cod or your favorite fare of the sea!

Casino Mine Ranch is an estate vineyard located in the Sierra Foothills of Amador County. The winery - a century-old ranch that was once mined for gold — is owned and managed by fourth-generation California brothers, Jim and Rich Merryman.
The vineyard is planted and farmed to best harness the potential of the site, through thoughtfully selected grape varietals. In keeping with the family’s pioneering spirit, the Merrymans partnered with the highly acclaimed winemaking team of Andy Erickson and Jessica Tarpy who share a passion for great wines from special sites. Together with their commitment to hard work, connection to the land, and passion to produce the best wine possible they are pursuing a legacy that honors the history, family, and the land.
We invite you to visit our Amador County ranch. You can taste our rare and exceptional wines in our private cellar, and you can step into our wine cave, originally carved out by miners.
“This is Gold Country. So there are all these great mineral deposits: Quartz that sparkles, volcanic rock, and ash. And the wine caves—these are not Napa Valley caves—are former mine caves, carved out of the hills.” Andy Erickson, Consulting Winemaker
