Jul 5th, 2016A review from an earlier vintage had an apt descriptor.."serviceable." It doesn't really remind me of any of any decent Albariño I've had to date. It's just a simple white with hints of salinity and citrus. It paired ok with the spinach lasagna. I'd still pay a bit more for a better Albariño or spring for another white option at the same price. $8 @ Trader Joe's.
