Notes of orange peel and tangerine. Simple, but nice.

Nice - definitely a bit past when we should have had it - still hanging in!

For this of us not very familiar with Albariño, this is a real treat. If you're used to other types of whites, the first taste may seem a bit thin, but this one really grows on you. It's extremely well balanced, and its interesting notes are subtle and become more obvious with time. Too bad it's hard to find!

Excellent balance of plush mouthfeel and refreshing acidity. Lots of citrus on the nose and palate.

Lean, crisp style, with some herbal and floral accents. Alcohol is noticeable. Enjoyed this but wouldn't be able to pick it as Albariño blind.

True to my note a year ago, this has certainly improved and is drinking beautifully now. Asian pear and papaya on the nose both continuing on the palate with the additions of florals, stone fruit, honeysuckle and a bit of citrus (or perhaps cucumber?). Medium minerality and light acidity add structure. Given its structure this may last longer but why wait?

Didn't take detailed notes but remember this to be a bright, energetic wine with tenacious acidity and a lush mouthfeel. Possibly a bit better on the second day.

Fantastic Albariño. Great balance, freshness and acidity. Nice aromatics typical of the grape. Amazing wine for the price.

Lots of layers here. Pineapple, lemon/acid to tie it together, a little green apple. Really excellent nose.

Tropical fruit, limes, maybe a bit of yeast/bread, and something mineraly.

So good. This is rocking for my palate right now. A great summer wine to drink by the case. Smells of seashells, flowers, juicy tropical fruit blended with tart limes, good lord I love smelling this wine. Plump texture but such focused acidity. I love the oceanic, flower stem, quinine, cucumber slice thing going on here. Papaya doused in limes. Intriguing yet straight-up delish and poundable. Abrente for the win!

Pale gold with floral aromas and a nice medium body. Riesling-like minerality but lower acidity than expected.

Very floral nose. One of the more impressive editions of this wine. Palate is weighty and viscous. Apricot, honeysuckle, white peach across the tongue. Finish has staying power.

Drinking this side by side with the 2012 and I prefer the acidity that vintage had. That being said, this has a nice nose of pear and papapya. The palate adds stone fruit and a nice minerality. Good now but I think it will get better with age (hence the cork vs screw cap this year per Chris).

Has a nice balance of pear and tropical fruit with a zippy acidity. Paired well with a variety of cold salads and cheeses on a warm spring day. Will let the other rest for a bit to see how it evolves.

Pear, peach, and lemon on the nose. Similar notes on the palate, with nice saline, wet stone accents. Crisp acidity. Very drinkable. I don't have much experience with this varietal, but this is a nice wine.

This is completely in my wheelhouse, both for Albarino in general and Abrente specifically. Just the right amount of sweetness to marry with a tart, saline backbone. Strikes me as more complex and more satisfying than the '14 bottling, which was ok. This for me is an absolute pleasure.

Starts off a bit like drinking a fruit cocktail, pinot blanc like, low acidity but good structure. As it warmed in the glass, a subtle salinity emerged, giving the wine a feel like a 'sweet crustacean reduction' (I'm sure I got that phrase from a Schildknecht prose) any way it was GOOD! Easy to drink but certainly a very strong effort here. Albarino in CA? Of coarse Bedrock could pull it off.
