Morgan has been working with the Albariño grape for a few vintages now, and I think the wine is starting to hit its stride in this vintage. Sea spray and white flower aromas lead to a wildly bright palate of lemon, lime and wet stone that are rounded off slightly by four months in oak, where only a small percentage was new. I love the spirit of adventure that is obviously being applied in this program. Refreshing!
