2016 Peter Franus Napa Valley Albariño

From a single vineyard in the cool climate of Carneros, Napa Valley. Forward and aromatic, varietally correct, with zesty acidity. Our 2014 Albariño is light straw in color with aromas consistent with previous vintages, honeysuckle, citrus blossom, toasted almond, ginger, and stone fruit. Flavors are bright, lively, and persistent. Always great acidity with Albariño, but what elevates the 2014 for me is how it seamlessly integrates with the structure of the wine. That translates to a bit more richness than previous vintages.
