Hailing from the Russian River Valley, a region most associated with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the 2020 Albariño is a rare and exciting find. Bright, refreshing notes of key lime, crisp tangerine, and white jasmine envelop the senses, along with a hint of ripe papaya lending a touch of tropicality. The dynamic entry is balanced by a honeyed whisper and delicately rounded mouthfeel, while subtle elements of newly cut grass and fresh beeswax add complexity. Layered and lively, the palate rounds to a pithy lime zest finish, further highlighting its naturally vibrant acidity. The 2020 Albariño is that unique white–equally exquisite alongside Thai green papaya salad as it is paired with pan-fried white fish.
