The 2012 Branco is part of this issue's vertical. At this point, certainly, we are in the modern era, the wines youthful and fresh, with exuberant, even sappy fruit. This is a very fresh Branco vintage that produced some lively whites. They don't always have the best concentration. So, too, here. Overall, this is a sunny white that lives on its lively demeanor. There is just a hint of metal on the finish. For the vintage, it is still respectably concentrated. It should continue holding well. It is a great porch-sipper style.
