Sierra Zeiter is on a roll at Oak Farm. I don’t want to call what Oak Farm is doing “value driven,” as that could leave you with a negative impression. I’ll say instead that they are quality driven and committed to sharing that commitment at high-value prices. This Albariño fits that bill, with a mix of stonefruit and citrus aromas that translate to lively dry flavors on the palate. The finish pushes a bit of citrus pith with no bitterness – very interesting!
