El Coto Rioja 2016 Viura (also called Macabeo or Macabeu) White Wine (Spain), $10.19-$13.99, 89 points, poured a very light brass color, and was very light on the palate too, with the big spicy kick coming in the long satisfying finish, but this is not a diminution of the pleasant subtle flavors of lemon/lime and pineapple.
The nose was weak, but dusty green melon notes were good, as was the seafood friendly bright acidity.
Well-balanced 12% alcohol added to this wine's table manners as it paired perfectly with my Maryland crab-cakes and wild caught haddock filets.
