Peloton 2011 Jesperson Ranch Albariño (Edna Valley)

Country: US / Jesperson Ranch
Variety: Albariño California
Winery: Peloton / Edna Valley

Albariño is very sensitive to the slightest usage of oak. Although this wine has only a touch of neutral oak, the wood still sticks out. The barrel influence gives it a buttered toast and caramel heaviness. Try this as an alternative to Chardonnay.
