Itsas Mendi 2009 Hondarrabi Zuri (Bizkaiko Txakolina)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Clean, fresh and oozing apple and citrus on the nose. The palate mixes some body with spritz to good results, and the flavors of driving lemon, citrus and nectarine work well together. A forward, snappy white for garlicky appetizers and olives.

Itsas Mendi 2009 No. 7 White (Bizkaiko Txakolina)
- $30
Expensive for what is ultimately a crisp, clean but limited white wine from the Basque country. The palate is juicy due to high acidity, while the flavors of lemon and green apple are tight. Finishes firm and driving, with a touch of cidery sweetness.

Itsas Mendi 2006 Hondarrabi Zuri (Bizkaiko Txakolina)
- $20
Bright apple, pear and pineapple aromas are indicative of the sharp white fruits this wine has to offer. The flavors of apple, pear and lime are refreshing, and like any Txakoli it hits with quick jabs and a lot of zest. Drink now.

Itsas Mendi 2010 Hondarrabi Zuri (Bizkaiko Txakolina)
- $20
Fresh, crisp and oceanic in style, with green apple and lime on the nose. This is a juicy, sheer style of white wine from northern Spain that’s all about freshness, high acidity, citrus and green notes. It’s not complicated but it will go well with seafood and salads.

Itsas Mendi 2008 Hondarrabi Zuri (Bizkaiko Txakolina)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Mineral and nut oil aromas are more front and center than fruit, and as expected this Basque white delivers spritz on a chunky body that has plenty of bracing acidity. Pithy, with flavors of white grapefruit and lime. Finishes slightly bitter.

Itsas Mendi NV Urezti Vendimia Tardía 500 ml Hondarrabi Zuri (Bizkaiko Txakolina)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Funky and disjointed on the nose, with unfamiliar aromas that suggest pumpkin pie. The feel is pretty good and the flavors run sweet and sugary as they point to orange and pineapple. Finishes with the taste of sweet applesauce.
— M.S.
