Marimar Estate Russian River Valley Albariño 2019

“Green apple, peach, and vanilla bean anchor a balanced and fruity white wine of moderate ripeness and acidity. Anise and wet stone play secondary roles, adding complexity and length.” - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points

Albariño has been known to produce outstanding wines in the cool, rainy climate of Galicia, in NW Spain. Marimar planted this grape in the Don Miguel Vineyard of the Russian River Valley estate where it has continued to thrive for some time. 

Exuberant aromas of white peach, tangerine, and honeysuckle, a classic of the variety, as well as the lively acidity and refreshing minerality reminiscent of river rock — but with a bright note of California sunshine! Savory, mouth-filling, and long on the palate. It is recommended to serve it at 45°- 48° F with raw or grilled seafood, smoked salmon, sushi, and Asian cuisine — and for sure, with tapas!
