Apple, lemon curd, ripe peach, orange blossom, slate and hints of quince. Great acidity and minerality.

Lemon, chalk, white peach, honeysuckle. Much more going on here than the simple, high-toned aromatic expression of the typical New World Albariño. Nice length, delicacy and subtle roundness in mid palate texture- many of the same qualities that I admire in Rias Baixas. This has some gravitas. Well done.

A touch short on freshness, but hey, it's 3.5 years old!

Great acid. A simple and enjoyable warm weather quaffer from Southern Oregon at a nice price.

A little more fruit driven then the typical Spanish Albariño. Lots of lemon lime and orange blossom. Really delicious!
