Winemaker Adam LaZarre touts the 2018 Central Coast vintage with this Albariño, perhaps the best that he’s produced to date. Fresh and floral up front, with vibrant lime and melon hanging close by. It all comes together on the palate, where a creamy entry gives way to crisp acidity, and finishes with complete refreshment of the palate and a long, integrated impression. This won’t last long.
