Lícia 2009 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Minerality and crispness define the bouquet, which brings green apple and citrus aromas. There’s punch and spritz on the palate as well as sweet citrus and juicy lime flavors that break up a little as they fan out. Not sure if there’s residual sugar, but the wine tastes a bit sweet.

Lícia 2008 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $14
Tropical smelling, with green banana, minerality and firmness to the bouquet. The palate is clean and cleansing, which are two very different things, while the wine tastes of tangy citrus and green melon. Fresh, tropical and uncomplicated. Drink this year.

Lícia 2010 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $15
With its apple, peach and melon aromas, the bouquet is solid. The palate is a bit spritzy and spread thin, and that’s confirmed via fleshy, dilute flavors of white peach and green melon. Plump and simple on the finish; good for salads, shrimp and grilled white meats.

Lícia 2005 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $13
Round and sweet, with heavy buttercup and honeyed aromas. This is what we call a candied Albariño; it’s loaded up with canned pineapple, melon and mango. The feel is plump and the acid level fairly low. Ripe and ready as it’s ever going to be.

Lícia 2006 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Tired and waxy, with canned fruit aromas and almost no measurable freshness. Tastes both sweet and vegetal. May have been better upon release but now it’s flat.
