    Etxea 2018 Rorick Heritage Vineyard Albariño (Sierra Foothills)

    This site is famously high-elevation (2,000 feet) and rich in limestone soils. The resulting white here is remarkably fresh, energetic and bursting in green apple and melon. With a light touch to the oak and ripeness, it retains an earthy minerality of sea spray and wet stone, that's deliciously memorable and complex.
