"Bright straw-yellow. Mineral-tinged orange zest, pear and jasmine scents are complemented by a subtle touch of quinine. Shows very good clarity and tension to its juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors, which deepen slowly on the back half. Lingers with strong persistence, leaving floral and orange notes behind.

"The 2017 Albariño Rias Baixas (100% Albariño) is a relatively fruity, almost tropical white, yet it still has this solid underlying, flinty minerality as well as bright acidity that keeps it fresh, clean, and interesting. Clean, nicely balanced and certainly delicious, it’s a versatile white to enjoy over the coming year or so."

"Tropical-fruit aromas include notes of pineapple and mango. This has an easy-to-like palate with pulpy weight and just enough acidity. Peachy flavors include a note of honeydew melon, while this shows a saline character on the finish."

"(all stainless steel) Pale gold. A highly expressive bouquet evokes fresh peach, melon and passionfruit, and a minerally nuance adds vivacity. Silky and open-knit, offering sappy orchard and pit fruit flavors that slowly tighten up on the back half. Deftly plays richness oF vivacity and finishes long and smooth, featuring an echo of ripe peach and bracing ginger and mineral notes.- Josh Raynolds"

"Pale, green-tinged yellow. Suave, mineral-tinged orange, pear and honeysuckle aromas pick up a gingery nuance with aeration. Silky and seamless on the palate, offering juicy citrus fruit flavors and a touch of fennel on the back half. Closes with strong punch and spicy cut, leaving floral and lemon pith notes behind. - Josh Raynolds"

"Light yellow. Fragrant, mineral-accented bouquet evokes citrus fruits, honeysuckle, green tea and ginger, plus a hint of pungent herbs. Racy and focused on the palate, with tangy citrus pith and mineral flavors joined by a deeper note of pear in the mid-palate. This nervy, focused albarino finishes with very good energy and lingering minerality."

"A robust albariño, this wine's complex flavors layer lemon zest and lime leaf with prickly pear and a meatier note, like the gaminess and salty tang of heritage pork. The citrus flavors dominate in the finish with their mouthwatering depths. Approachable now, this will benefit from several years of age."

"Valminor Albariño 2010, Rías Baixas, Spain. 12.5% alc. This boldly spicy and savory albarino offers real grip and limestone fortitude with enticing citrus and grapefruit scents and flavors, whiffs of jasmine and camellia, hints of apple skin and roasted pear; eminently refreshing, spring rain and sea-salt with a bracing punch of earth and bitterness on the finish. One of the best albariños. Excellent. About $20."

"Pale yellow-gold. High-pitched aromas of lemon zest, honeysuckle and spices. Sappy, floral-accented citrus and pear skin flavors show good depth and a refreshingly bitter quality on the back half. Dry and precise, with a spicy edge to the long, clean, powerful finish."

"Adegas Valminor's 2010 Albarino displays an inviting bouquet of mineral, lemon zest, melon, and spring flowers. This leads to a medium-bodied, spicy, savory, nicely proportioned Albarino with plenty of volume and length. Drink it over the next 3-4 years."
