January 7, 2019 - Briny, grassy, limey, minty, lemony, stone fruity, all that y-goodness. Beautiful acid, long finish, pretty as all get-out. Really, it’s the only albariño we want. The under-$20 albariño world can be a crapshoot. More spendy, single-vineyard ones, many times, come off too polished and a tad delicate with food. Albariño should have some grizzle mixed with the sparkle. This one has that and more. Summertime in a glass.
Had with Ottolenghi cod cakes in tomato sauce, rice and mint. Perfect. ($20 - A’ville Liquors)1,226 views
