Guava purée, blooming plumeria, lemon zest. Salted pineapple, sandy earth, succulent Barlett pear. Playfully expressive and outgoing waves of sweet mango, dripping peach, and lime candy crash in with luscious tropical juiciness in an initial attack that is quite ripe yet still deliciously crisp and clean. Wafts of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and hibiscus generously emerge to provide layers of aromatic floral perfume that are offset slightly by mild savory notes of dried grass and nori. Complicating suggestions of sea spray, saline minerality, and sunshine provide glimpses of a warm coastal terroir that playfully conclude the lively and fruit-forward display. Wonderfully bold and cheerful on the nose while remaining full throttle yet nicely dry and tense on the palate; exhibiting a delightfully fun and friendly presentation that is well balanced yet thoroughly modern. Medium plus in body and teeming with elevated acidity. This 2019 Estate Albariño by Brick Barn Wine Estate is a delectably bright and lush white from Santa Barbara's Santa Ynez Valley.

Native to the region of Galicia located on the northwestern coast of Spain, Albariño is an emerging international white wine variety prized for its juicy fruit profile and refreshing acidity. This bottling, crafted by Brick Barn Wine Estate using Albariño grown at their estate vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley, showcases a delicious Californian take on this famous Spanish grape. This wine generously gushes an enticing range of tropical, stone, and citrus fruits accompanied by lush floral tones and pleasant saline earthiness. Although undoubtedly riper and more fruit-driven than its Spanish counterparts this still possesses nice crispness and bite, and will make for an excellent sipper to enjoy on a warm day. Very nice.
