As Laxas 2010 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Editors' Choice
- $22
Textbook Albariño from what’s shaping up into one of Galicia’s best years in a long time. This wine is elegant and lightly creamy, with flower blossom and citrus aromas preceding apple, peach and nectarine flavors that are straight from the farm stand. A pure and exemplary wine given that 30,000 cases were made.

As Laxas 2007 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $17
A little yellow in color and fuller with its aromas, Laxas delivers chunky but pleasant apple, melon and orange scents that come with pine-needle accents. The palate is clean and textured, with apple, green melon, banana and cucumber flavors. Shows body and balance throughout. Imported by Frontier Wine Imports.

As Laxas 2009 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Nice, clean and vibrant, with a welcoming set of peach, apricot and citrusy aromas. The wine is 100% correct and fresh, with clarity and flavors of apple, peach and green grapes. Shows just enough body, acid and pith on the finish, but drink now before it starts to fade.

As Laxas 2005 Val do Sosego Albariño (Rías Baixas)
Clean and expressive up front, with floral aromas shaped by doses of grass, apple and pear. Tastes very good, with condensed fruit creating a nice mouthfeel. Very long on the back end.

As Laxas 2005 Laxas Albariño (Rías Baixas)
Zesty as all get out, with a touch of spritz. Full melon, nectarine and green-herb aromas set the stage for apricot, peach and citrus flavors. Hails from Condado do Tea and seems racier than most.

As Laxas 2005 Bágoa do Miño Albariño (Rías Baixas)
A single-vineyard wine made from tear must that was extracted during a light pressing. It’s smooth and concentrated, with apple, melon, peach and a touch of white-pepper. Shows good acidity and style.

As Laxas 2008 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $18
Pleasant but a little light on the nose, with candied fruit notes. Flavors of green melon, apple and citrus are standard fare and clean, while the feel is fresh and peachy. A balanced and nice wine, but not overly exciting or precise. Drink now with salad or fish.

As Laxas 2006 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $15
Hints of peanut and caramel vie with mineral and acacia blossom for center stage on the nose, while the palate deals nut skins, lime, kiwi and gooseberry. In the end, this is a tangy, streamlined wine that’s refreshing. It has some style but it’s mostly just racy and lean.
