Phenomenal wine with intense flavor concentration dominated by secondary bio characteristics and elevated with vibrant salinity and subtle oxidation. Prominent texture and body differentiates it from others in its class. An outstanding wine that I’ll be buying again! $24.99/375ml — a year ago

ask the wine guy for something unusual, something off the beaten path and he recommends this delicious dry 100% Palomino w/some bottle age: definitely a food wine, light greenish straw color w/fairly austere nose full of minerals, lanolin, herbaceous musk, white flowers (jasmine), ginger & some spices. on palate it is rigid & angular, zesty acidity, some citrus but mostly minerals & herbs, quinine, screams for briny foods - we had this w/deli section fare & salad. — a day ago
