Grown in the Carneros, this beautiful Albarino has just a touch of oak that adds a creamy butteriness to the texture. But the mouthfeel belongs to crisp acidity and rewardingly complex tangerine, Meyer lemon, nectarine and mineral flavors that go on and on into the finish. A brilliant success. Try as an upscale alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 91
