VERDAD ALBARINO SL VNYD '16   

VERDAD ALBARIÑO, SAWYER LINDQUIST VINEYARD, EDNA VALLEY 2016


NVWE Notes: Bright and forthcoming, the aromas of this pretty white are a genteel mix of lemon curd, lime zest, Asian pear, white peach, cantaloupe and orange blossom, counter-pointed by a hint of “riverstone” minerality. It is soft-edged yet quietly zesty in the mouth, where flavors of Meyer lemon sorbet, Crenshaw melon, pear skin, peach pit, vanilla, white rose and jasmine find a nice harmony. The finish lingers, offering an attractively food-friendly piquancy. It is ready to enjoy. Certified Biodynamic. 500 cases produced.

The 2016 Albariño Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard is delicious wine with good varietal character. Aging in barrel and full malo amp up the flavors, but this is a white to drink young.
