Tangent 2009 Albarino

Both of Tangent’s estate vineyards, Paragon and Firepeak, have earned the Sustainability in Practice™ (SIP™) Vineyard Certification. Farmed by our Pacific Vineyard Company, we have owned these vineyards since Jack Niven, the winegrape planting pioneer of the Niven family, began planting them in the early 1970s. Certification of these vineyards proves our collective commitment to environmental stewardship, economic viability, and equitable treatment of employees. A project of the Central Coast Vineyard Team, SIP ™ provides a comprehensive and verifiable method to authenticate a vineyard’s attention to integrated farming practices.

Review

Grapefruit, orange blossoms, and fresh minerals highlight the nose. Lively citrus notes of grapefruit and tangerine are crisp and clean on the palate. This is a perfect bottle for Sauvingnon Blanc fans that are looking to try something new. Enjoy a bottle with your favorite shellfish.
