Côtes de Ciel 2021 Albariño

This pure varietal is one of a pair of interesting new plantings at Ciel de Cheval on Red Mountain (the other is Arneis). Succulent and sexy, this brings Meyer lemon, white peach, palate-pleasing minerality and a full, focused finish. It's a must-taste wine for anyone interested in seeing what else Washington (and Red Mountain) can do with white grapes.

14%; $25
