" The 2023 Albarino, Martain Ranch Vineyard, is bright, chiseled and nicely sculpted. Crushed rocks,, mint, white pepeer, slate are all delineated in this nervy taut Albarino."

90-92 Points, Antonio Galloni’s Vinous (tasted from a barrel sample.)

This three vintage vertical: 2020, 2021 and 2022, is a fascinating chance to taste the qualities that the vintage provides.  All three wines were made basically the same way, small open top fermenters with between 33% and 50% whole clusters, manual punch downs twice a day, and aging in Francois Freres Burgundy French oak barrels for about 20 months, of which between 50% and 67% were new oak. ~ Cheers!
