"Bright yellow. Aromas of ripe orange and melon pick up chalky mineral and floral accents in the glass. Supple and expansive on the palate, offering plush orchard and pit fruit flavors and a bracing jolt of bitter citrus pith. Appealingly fruity and concentrated, delivering solid closing thrust and lingering honeysuckle and mineral notes. - Josh Raynolds"

"This Verdejo is pungent and angular on the nose, with pyrazinic aromas of green citrus, sweat and cactus that are common to the variety and Rueda. An oily, grabby palate is cut by firm acidity, while flavors of tangerine, nopal and bell pepper finish short despite lively acidity."

"The 2017 Verdejo Rueda is a juicy, medium-bodied white that offers attractive melon fruit, subtle honeyed minerality and hints of petrol, nicely integrated acidity, and a clean, crisp finish. It’s rock solid, especially at the price."

"Bornos produces a reliably delicious verdejo, with ripe peach and apricot flavors. This is great as an aperitif with light appetizers, but also with sandwiches or seafood. Most of this wine was sold to Total Wine & More. ABV: 13 percent. - Dave McIntyre"
