This is an Albariño from Spain. While I truly love many of the Albariños we are now seeing from California, its hard to justify spending that kind of money when Spain offers wines like this for $30. Very light silvery/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is mineral driven with a touch of wild thyme, salinity and maybe some crushed shells. Light bodied. Nice texture. Good balance. On the palate, this is dry. The minerality continues and the crushed shell notes get louder. Good finish. This is refreshing on its own but better with food. A great choice for grilled shrimp.
