Golden color. Nose: lychee and white peach accented by lemon peel, coconut, lees/yeast, and an interesting hint of red licorice. Medium body on the palate: ripe Meyer lemon and white peach with citrus peel, coconut, anise/clove spice, white pepper, and again the hint of red licorice. Aggressive acidity. Lingering chalk and white pepper on the moderate/long finish. A touch hot. Nothing brilliant, but still a very good and relatively complex food white.

Nice medium gold color - a little deeper than other albarinos I've had. Nice nose of lemon, lime, some white flowers with a trace of some tropical fruits. Nice acidity on the palate balanced by the citrus and hint of tropical fruit. Easy drinking and it went quickly. Enjoyed it with carnitas tacos and some guacamole & chips. At under $13 not bad at all as far as value goes. Would buy it again at that price point.

Popped and poured. This didn't last long. Medium gold color. Nose shows lemon peel, floral and a bit of toasted nuts. Taste is Lychee, lemon, citrus, and baking spices. Medium weight. Not sure if its a great QPR but I will buy again if I see it.

Limpid and medium gold in color, this wine has a moderately intense floral bouquet, with accompanying citrus and cardamom notes. Light-bodied on the palate, with nice acidity and flavors in line with the nose. The middle palate is solid and the medium-length finish is crisp. This is a very nice wine which fills the bill as an aperitif or as a sidekick to light fare. It is, however, a bit overpriced. Drink it over the next year (now-5/12).

Very aromatic on the nose (peach, vegetables, flowers). F_resh, some carbonic, more than correct acidity, peach and lime flavours with mineral after taste. An Albariño to follow.

Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of orange spritz, lychee and a hint of cherry. Flavors of lemon, lychee and pineapple. Bright acidity, light to medium body. Drink now.

This albarino had a very pleasant, almost tropical nose. The fruit flavors were perfectly balanced by the acidity and body of the wine, which contributed to a great drinking experience.

Trick or Treat! (Farpointe Cellar): The nose had citrus and fresh herbs, white flowers and apples, and a little spice. The palate was crisp, with apple and lime, floral notes and herbs, and a touch of spice.

Too floral for me along with minerals and light fruit. I am not a fan of Albarino and this doesn't help matters.

Fruity with decent acidity. Would like it more if it was $5 cheaper. Pass.
