Abrente - Napa Valley Albariño

Another of Morgan Twain Peterson's efforts to push stylistic boundaries, bringing old world wine making traditions to his Napa Valley Albariño.
The citrus flavors, hint of mineral, and the burst of acidity on the finish was delightful.  This wine speaks to summer and a seafood meal.

Tasting Notes:
90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
"Light yellow. High-pitched scents and flavors of green apple, lime and white flowers. A mineral nuance comes up with air, along with a hint of white pepper. Dry and light on its feet, with impressive focus and finishing power. "
