Espadaña Verdejo 2005

there seems to bit a bit of a spanish trend lately so i'll continue down that path with this white. nose of white fruit, maybe pear or slightly apple in aroma. some citrus as well. on the palate minerals come through right away, along with some citrus. mid way it becomes a bit more floral, maybe a little jasmine. although the wine was crisp and of medium acidity, i wasn't crazy about the overall taste. maybe it was too medicinal for my taste. sells for about $14.

One more from the weekend…

martin codax 2006 alariño. pale yellowish color compared to the macmurray pinot gris. nose was very floral with hints of jasmine and spice. on the palate flavors citrus and a lemon zest finish. sweeter than the previously mentioned pinot gris, but very nice wine. about $14 for this one. well worth the price if you like an easy drinking summertime wine that pairs well with food or stands alone by itself.
