Delicious. Not your standard Albariño. Like a NZ SB mashed with an old school Alb. Lush with honeysuckle and grapefruit on the nose, river rock on the mouth in top of those two bits. Great acid. Shocked by the scores folks are giving this wine....

I enjoyed this, but wouldn’t suggest having it with spicy food. Didn’t go very well with my Taco Bell Tacos with Fire sauce.

One of my favorite wines. Not too sweet, fruit forward.

Albariño from Washington is a thing. This has a subtle kiss of oak to add some richness to the acidic structure. The aromatics are on point here with a mix of floral & melon notes which carry through the palate. Beautiful wine.

Light, easy drinking. Baked pear on the nose. Low residual sugar. Nice balance of acidity.
