Ocean Song
Alberto Nanclares
Rías Baixas Albariño
Nose - gardenia, chamomile, ocean and clay pot. Appearance - Super duper clean. Beautiful light straw color. Main tasting notes - tart lemon all day with a little bit of grapefruit. Pretty acidic with a longer acid finish but the acid works well with the lemon flavor. Really nice with a spicy summer chicken dish. Not always a fan of acidic whites but this hits the spot. — a year ago
Domaine de la Côte
Bloom's Field Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2017
Nose shows greenness/stems, smoke, strawberries. Lightly crunchy, medium+ acid; some ocean spray cranberry juice here. Texture is where this shines with a rich creaminess that ends with medium+ acid. Great food wine. — 3 years ago

Atlantic Ocean, lite...Notes tomorrow?
192H Update:
Nose has fully saturated oak plank, moist almonds, incredible sweet & saline notes, fermenting green apples, white chocolate bar, white candle wax and fresh yellow apple slice. Palate has almond broth (does that exist?), dried yellow apple, chamomile tea, moist bread, faint green olive (?) with mild saline finish, faint acidity. Damn I do not drink enough Manzanilla! — 3 years ago

Fermented in open top vats and aged in neutral oak for a year. Delicate, ethereal. Smoke and citrus notes. Some spices. Volcanic funk. Light on the palate. Really elegant — 3 years ago
