Here I sit relaxing and enjoying a nice glass of La Cana 2011 Albarino ($13) from the Rias Baixas region in Spain. This is fermented 80% in stainless steel and 20% in French oak. Light and crisp the aroma is pineapple and herbaceous with a touch of smokiness. The flavor is a hint of minerality with a long finish of lemon tartness that grabs the back sides of my tongue. Light acidity. Very enjoyable.Winemaker's Notes: Pineapple, lemon, seashell and salt scents carry through on the pure, silky palate. Finishes very long with brilliant acidity, rich citrus fruit flavors, fine minerals and just the slightest touch of almond. Absolutely delicious.
