Good timing for this new Albarino to hit Costco stores. This is a perfect summer treat, and checked a lot of boxes for us.
Fans of Albarino from Rias Baixas will be right at home with this bottle, which we enjoyed on a hot summer Atlanta afternoon.
We didn't see mention of a vintage on the label anywhere, but we're guessing this is a 2024 given the Costco placard and the 91 points matching the Suckling sticker on the bottle. (Confirmed, it’s 2024)
This wine is a pale yellow in the glass with aromas of lemon, stone fruit and white flowers; it is light to medium in body with flavors of tangy peach, lemon, nectarine; good acidity and minerality, crisp finish.
This is one of the better Albarinos we've tasted from recent memory. It reminds us in many ways of this other $15 Albarino we reviewed a few months back. It's hard to beat these Albarinos this time of the year.
