2013 Andrus Island Vineyard Dropout Albariño. Bracing minerality, wry stone, like and a grapefruit finish. Banana? More rounded and less spiky than many Spanish Albarinos. Interesting. Different. A great companion to spicy shrimp.

My mind kept thinking Riesling as I tasted but it just had more tartness and acidity. Delicious wine and not easy to find good Albariños in CA. Honeysuckle and fresia on the nose with great acidity for food friendliness.

California Albariño is hard to find. This guy in particular was easy, refreshing and flavorful. I'd definitely refill my glass #nomnomnom

Wet stone and slate on the nose, with aromas of lemon and banana. The oak/banana aromas are confirmed on the palate with pithy grape fruit and racy acidity like you would expect from and Albariño.
