Isaac Fernandez Selections, Rueda DO (Castilla y León, Spain) Verdejo 2020

 This wine is always very good, and I’ve placed multiple vintages of it on the wine lists of restaurants for which I consult.  The 2020 rendition wasn’t quite equal to the dimension and detail that I remember from the 2019 vintage, but I tasted it fairly soon after it had made its trans-Atlantic voyage to our shores.  Even with the jostling of that trip working against it, the wine showed a ripe, generous fruit profile recalling white melon notes above all, but with nice citrus acidity freshening the finish.
