Full of flavor for a white wine. Lemon, herbs, grass, and straw. Went amazingly well with a dish with white cream sauce. Had enough acidity to pair well and compete with the smoothness of the cream.
Very enjoyable wine. (1511 views) | | | Tasted by wine4lux on 6/22/2017 & rated 91 points: Hendry's Albariño is a well-crafted wine vintage after vintage. Saline notes and bright acidity are the hallmarks of the 2014. (1100 views) | | | Tasted by wine4lux on 7/16/2016 & rated 90 points: Paired with crab cakes; acidity was a nice foil to creamy tartar sauce and the briny notes in the wine accented the flavor of the crab. (1393 views) | | | Tasted by Mattshank on 10/21/2015 & rated 90 points: Hendry Tasting (North Loop Wines): Nose: Floral and spicy with perfumy peach hints. Palate: Perfect balance of fruit and acids. Peaches with some quince/lime qualities. Very intriguing wine and like all the Hendry offerings, is super balanced. (2041 views) |

Producer Location (Google Maps)Albariño Varietal character (Appellation America)
Albariño (Galician pronunciation: [albaˈɾiːɲo]) or Alvarinho (Portuguese: [alvaˈɾiːɲo]) is a variety of white wine grape grown in Galicia (northwest Spain) and Monção (northwest Portugal), where it is used to make varietal white wines.
Albariño is actually the Galician name for the grape, with Albarín Blanco an occasional synonym. In Portugal it is known as Alvarinho, and sometimes as Cainho Branco. [1]
It was presumably brought to Iberia by Cluny monks in the twelfth century. Its name "Alba-Riño" means "the white from Rhine" and it has locally been thought to be a Riesling clone originating from the Alsace region of France, although earliest known records of Riesling as a grape variety date from the 15th, rather than the 12th, century. It is also theorized that the grape is a close relative of the French grape Petit Manseng. [2]
It should not be confused with the Alvarinho Liláz grape of Madeira.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
