Oh man, do I love Albariño! Maybe it's because I'm from Cape Cod and it goes so well with the local cuisine here. I really don't know anything about this one other than it's from 13 hectares of "Franco sandy and slightly acidic soil", and that it has a 13% ABV. So let's make this one quick and start drinkin'!
The wine is medium gold in color with aromas of white flowers, melon, pears, lemon zest, and ginger. On the palate it's medium bodied with a creamy and rounded mouthfeel and zesty acidity. There's favors of green apples, pears, and lemon. Then it finishes with green apples and a refreshing hint of mint.
So what we have here is a nice creamy bodied, fruit forward, happy wine! I like it, my wife likes it more, and I don't know how anybody could be upset dropping $20 on it. Who wants scallops?
