This is a great inexpensive white that has the complexity, body, acidity, and interest of something... 'more'. For $9 it has replaced the 2006 Burgans Albarino as my favorite cheap white wine (possibly ever). It was so good with goat cheese and figs, and on its own -- I must sound like a broken record when I say that these nice Verdejo blends all taste like the platonic ideal of a Sauvignon Blanc to me. Not so much nose (compared to the 100% Verdejo with the green label) but in the glass it is a mighty mouthful of melon, lemon, grass, and minerals. Tremendous QPR; a fantastic, versatile, summery white.

Nearly the same notes as before. Medium-light mouthfeel. Tangerines and limes on the palate with a smooth transition to the finish. Nice hint of grassiness on the finish.

color: light golden nose: tropical, citrus and mineral essences. fresh and lively. a nice combination of full, round, fleshy, coating mouthfeel with a crisp finish and beautiful minerality. killer value and very versitile.

Pale Yellow color. Good nose -- floral with tropical fruit. Lively, fresh, fruity flavor. Good balance. Excellent QPR.
