  I've enjoyed 5 bottles of this Albarino. Each time I open it I am surprised at how Ive enjoyed it each time. This time, the buttery flavors and peach finish had me longing for a summer break from this cold Seattle weather. Always a refreshing wine and fruit flavors beyond Chardonnay.

  Similar to my previous note; a little more buttery than a typical albarino, but easy-drinking and went well with mildly spicy food. Better when chilled. Great QPR.

  Excellent -- hints of tropical fruits and more buttery than I expect from an albaruno; almost chardonnay-like in that respect. Goes down nicely by itself, but would pair with food well too. Superb QPR.

  Openned to aromas of sea, sea salt and minerials with a faint tropical fruit smell mixed in. Initial taste was wonderfull; tasteed like eating fresh white peaches on the beach. As it opeened up more it also took on a taste of cocconut; fresh herbs. Great wine. Serve at 50 to 55. Tasted great by itself. Definitely a very good summer afternoon wine. Wine was drank at the same time as working in the kitchen preparing fresh tomatoes, peppers and cauliflower from the garden. Just a refreshing mix of smaells and tastes.
