Today’s Saddleback Cellars 2013 Lake County Albarino is the perfect springtime wine.

This wine, from America’s first 100 point winemaker, Nils Venge, is elegant, bright and very food friendly. Enjoy it with fish, fowl, pork, appetizers or any lighter fare.

Stock up - you’ll want to have plenty on hand for your spring and summer festivities.

Fresh, floral and tropical on the nose, with orange blossom, lemon, golden delicious apple, young nectarine, slate mineral and subtle fennel frond.

Bright up-front flavors of lemon curd, Meyer lemon, apricot, pineapple and Granny Smith apple are followed by rich flavors of butter rum, river rock, lemongrass and very subtle anise seed.

We’ve had the great pleasure to have featured Saddleback wines these last 6+ years, and in that time we’ve gotten to know Nils Venge (America’s first 100 Point winemaker) and his wonderful winemaking team. We have no problem declaring our love.

We purchased every case we could get our hands on of today’s unique Saddleback Cellars 2013 Lake County Albarino, but it may not last the day.

At today’s steal of a price, we recommend that you stock up…
