Pale yellow color with appealing green apple, lime, cantaloupe, ocean breeze aromas complemented by hints of tropical fruit and orange blossom. On the palate, it approaches medium bodied, and persistent with crackling acidity, and a wonderful texture. It shows green apple, lime a bit of stone fruit and a bit of melon flavors with a giving finish. 2014 Vintage — 11 years ago

Aavery nice everyday wine at this price point. Fruity, not particularly complex. Bright fruit, mostly sour cherry and cranberry, but with an overriding sweetness, so no puckering. — 11 years ago

My last bottle! From a hillside vineyard on an eastern slope on the second ridge from the Pacific Ocean. Deep Ruby with subtle aromas of red fruits and peppery spices, aging softened the aromas a bit. The palate shows raspberry and cherry with flavorful spices. Vivid acidity with super soft tannins with an earthy feel. Lingering finish with ripe oaky notes, minerality and earthy tones. Aged well, drink now! Very nice! — 7 years ago

Immediately you are bombarded with scents of lime and ocean air. Wave after wave of salt water coated fruit caress every inch of your mouth. Reminds me of the flavor you get when sucking on the walking legs of a lobster. Incredible balance which allows this wine to have an endless finish — 11 years ago

Beautiful tropical nose with clear hints of vanillin oak. This has serious presence on the pallet and the texture shows serious restraint that really pays off, it is so supple and perfectly delicate and fresh. Touch of granite minerality. WOW!
Seriously outstanding. — 11 years ago

I’m lost in the majestic waves of the Albariño. An enthusiastic aroma of ocean air. Flowery Citrus on the front. Slight sourness on the edges as well and it’s pleasant. Maybe sour peaches. And the a crisp finish 👌🏼 — 7 years ago
