Tangent Edna Valley 2012 Albarino





Tangent Edna Valley 2012 Albarino, $11.49-$17.99, 86 points, poured straw yellow transitioning almost clear at the shallow end of the glass.
Flowers and sweet green melon were pleasant aromas.
Near medium-bodied with fair-plus acidity carried tart granny Smith apple flavors with hints of cumquat and tangerine.
Finished long on the trailing palate with a slight sour note, a hint of ginger and the 13.5% alcohol.

      VG: I remembered! Recently I had the Spanish Kentia Galicia Rias Baixas 2013 Albarino which I liked more (seemed 'cleaner'). I saw, I bought, I tasted!
      I have another Cali Albarino, an older one, but my understanding is they will age well-is that true to your knowledge?
