Val Verde Winery

Bodegas La Val

Rías Baixas Albariño 2023

Light golden color. Reserved aromas of orchard, tropical and citrus fruit, sea spray and a hint of fresh cut grass. Flavors of green apple, white peach, lemon/lime and nectarine fruit. Noticeable mineral note on the long and bright finish. Slightly creamy texture (lees aging?) and crisp acidity. Opens up nicely with a little aeration. Straightforward and solid, but not overly complex. Best with food. — 21 days ago

Zarate

Val do Salnés Albariño 2025

Soft tree fruit aromas, mouthwatering, lemon zesty, salt aftertaste that lingers on the tongue.
My favorite from Albariño class! Perfect pairing with orange shrimp, rice, and summer veggies!

Clos du Val Wine Co.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Actually a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (77%), Merlot (12%), Malbec (5%), Cabernet Franc (4%) Petite Verdot (2%). Dark ruby color with some purple highlights. Aroma of ripe black fruit, violets, cedar and burnt caramel. Flavors of black berry/currant/plum fruit, black tea, savory herbs and spices. Lingering finish, plush, well balanced with fine grained tannins. Solid value. Enjoyed at Thyme Rooftop Restaurant with Keith S! — 5 months ago

Luis Seabra Vinhos

Granito Cru Vinho Verde Monção Alvarinho 2023

Pithy, textured, phenolic, and structured. Deep color in the glass. More ballsy than your typical Alvarinho. Seabra is more concerned with terroir than grapes, so the wines are labeled based on soil type. — 5 months ago
