Tasting - McPherson Albarino

Name: McPherson Albarino
Variety: 100% Albarino
Region: Lubbock, Texas
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price: $16.95

Winery Review: Texas Albarino which strikes the perfect balanced of crisp fruit aromas and flavors. Exotic scents of peach, mango, pear and apple are married with the rich and velvety texture that this wine has to offer.

My Review: This wine had a nice peach and mango aroma. After tasting, this wine had the fruit flavor last throughout and was very smooth. There was a very slight acidity at the finish but it was very mild.

I did not have this wine with food.

Tasting - Valminor Albarino

Name: Valminor Albarino
Variety: 100% Albarino
Region: Rias Baixas
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $14.95

Winery Review: Pit and orchard fruits on the highly fragrant nose and palate. At once fleshy and focused, with very good cut and an undercurrent of chalky minerality. Closes firm and long, with resonating spiciness and a refreshing note of bitter quinine.

My Review: This wine had a very floral aroma. This white wine was definitely on the floral side of taste and had no fruity flavors present. Overall it as an okay wine but I did not get that much out of it.
