Horton Vineyards Private Reserve Albariño 2017 Review

There is something going on with Alabariño in Virginia. I don’t know what genius thought to plant it there, but I want to shake his or her hand. This is a wonderful wine with ripe pear fruit and a tinge of ginger. The palate is clean and balanced with excellent acidity show vibrancy and depth. It’s a bit pricey, and you have to e-commerce it from the winery’s site, but if you e-commerce, this is worth your clicks and your cash.
