Adegas Gran Vinum Mar de Viñas Albariño Rias Baixas/Val do Salnes 2018
A glass w work lunch of homegrown tomatoe/avocado and tinned sardines.
Medium yellow color. Aromas of drupe fruits (peach/apricot). Mouth is more about peach pit with a hint of bitterness and a savory, salty element. Went better w the tomatoes than the sardines (umami harmony?)
Disclaimer that I import it. — 6 years ago

How do you rate an exceptionally fun wine that consists of Pinot Noir/Cab Franc/Négrette/Gamay Noir? Easy! Start at nine points and work up. (A slight chill is highly recommended and it will match perfectly with whatever you're pulling from the grill. God bless the French.) — 7 years ago

Cherry and spice on the nose. Almost white peppery. A bit bitter at fitst but gets better. Very woody tannind and a lot of oak. I think a long decant might help do this wine justice. — 9 years ago

This yellow-gold wine has aromas that are more herbal than floral, with savory dill bolstering the citrus and stone fruit. The palate carries much citrus along with savory balsamic notes. Acidity is great, and makes for a lively pairing with a variety of salads and seafood. — 6 years ago

A blend of Godello, Doña Blanca and Colgadeira (?) from very old vines in Val do Bibei village of Manzaneda. Fermented and raised 6 months in 2nd use French barrels. 735 bottles for her first vintage.
Sexy texture and weight to this wine, it takes more of the oak onto itself than the Palomino. Pear skins, bees wax, wet granite, and a hint of vanilla on the finish. Needs scallops or lobster type of seafood fo' shizzle. — 9 years ago

Very very good red Pinot from the Alsace region - a special red from St. Hippolyte that makes stopping here a must if you are in the region. If not in the region, get online and book a ticket to fly into Mulhouse and drive around vino bliss - just do it! — 12 years ago
