2020 Gallica Albariño Rorick Heritage Vineyard, USA, California, Calaveras County, Wine Review
An excellent take on Albarino from California. The grape is normally found on the northwest coast of Spain where it makes crisp youthful white wines. This one is a bit rounder. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has limes with a good bit of salinity. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, the limes come thru along with a nice minerality. Crisp acidity. Long finish. The wine drinks well on its own but would be better with some salty and/or fried appetizers. Drink over the next couple of years. This is a bit pricier than its Spanish counterparts but this is as good or
