BLACK PIG ALBARINO - 2006

From Rias Baixas with 12.5% alcohol. A Gary Vaynerchuk-Wine Library concoction.

TASTING NOTES:

Light straw color with bready, yeasty aromas and flavors reminiscent of Champagne. Extremely crisp with frizzante galore. Pear, apple, white grape juice and a touch of pineapple with sharp acidity and a hint of wood.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

90 PTS

Stellar Spanish white for the bargain price of $11. With Albarinos often getting into the $20 range, it has become a wine I've strayed from over the last few years. It is nice to find an affordable and well made addition to a really delicious category. Paired perfectly with a seafood paella. So refreshing and easy to drink you could finish the bottle without even knowing it.
