Solar de Serrade Alvarinho Vinho Verde Portugal– 2006 - 8.9 James Meléndez / Jaime Patricio Meléndez

Subtle hint of Brioche (something I never get from an Alvarhino - Albariño), cardamom and baked Apricot. Alvarhino are so food friendly and this wine could be served with food or not; the acids are approachable on all levels
