Valdelainos - Verdejo White Wine - 2007 Region: Rueda - Rating: 90 - 'Top Shelf Buy' $17.35 / WN-144
Top Shelf Best Buy in the August 2008 issue of Wine Enthusiast. COMPOSITION: 100% Verdejo grapes. TASTING NOTES: "Not many wines of this price are pulling 90-point scores. But this one deserves it. The wine delivers citrus and piquant green-fruit aromas, which are backed by honeyed melon and lime flavors. The texture is just soft enough to not bite, while the finish is wavy.” Wine Enthusiast - "Consistency is a virtue in this business, and this wine tastes almost exactly like the highly recommended 2005. The nose blends green grass and golden fruits, while the palate is clean, intense and snappy. This is a wine that sings, and the interspersed notes of bell pepper, grapefruit and mineral are just right for Verdejo. Drink right away for maximum freshness." Score: 90. —Michael Schachner, November 01, 2007.
