Flinty steely melon fruit flavors. The nose and aftertaste matched- both clean and crisp. Well balanced. I had this with some gumbo. It would have been even better with a cream sauce or fresh fish. This is a superb food wine.

Light yellow in color. Clear. The nose is very faint, smelling floral with lemon. The palate matches, finishing with lemony acid and no heat (12.5% alc/vol). An solidly OK wine, with no faults, but no excitement either. Should pair decently with mild seafood. At $13, it's not a particularly good (or bad) value.

Initially this had some unpleasant barrel aromas which blew off with 15 to 30 minutes of air....leaving a rather pleasant, crisp wine with sauvignon blanc character (lime/grapefruit) and some tolerable oak influence. Decent drink for the cost ($10).

Crisp and dry with lime and other citrus aromas. Strong lime on the palate, with some grassiness. Could be mistaken for a Sauvignon Blanc. Short finish. Nothing special.

Clear light gold; fairly powerful nose of stone fruits, pear, pineapple, and a little lemon-lime soda; clean balanced palate with a little oak, crisp fruit, and a decent finish. This is less over the top than some albarinos I've had and a good mid point between a SB and something weightier; really nice

Nose showed some promise, but tasted like Welch's grape juice.

Pale wheat colour. Floral/almond nose with some melon apparent. Dry with food-friendly acidity. Tart apples and citrus flavours.

Hints of pineapple aroma. Taste of pineapple and citrus. Bright acidity. Slight minerality underneath.
