Martín Códax 2010 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Best Buy
- $15
A little leesy on the nose, but mostly it’s forward and lemony. The palate is citric and crisp as a whistle, with lemon, green apple and a secondary sweetness akin to pineapple. Focused and clean on the finish; chiseled and defined.

Martín Códax 2007 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Best Buy
- $15
Códax really got it good in 2007. This is one of this co-op’s best-balanced, easy-to-like bottlings we can remember. The bouquet is clean as a whistle, with pear, apple and slate. Graceful on the palate, with citrus and green-apple flavors. A little lime carves shape into the long finish. Imported by Martín Códax USA.

Martín Códax 2009 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $15
Starts out with gentle matchstick aromas, but with time it’s all about white fruits, green herbs and apple. The palate has a firm, standard, high-quality mouthfeel along with tart apple, white peach and pineapple flavors. The finish is pure lime and snap, while the refreshment quotient runs long and strong.

Martín Códax 2005 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $16
Floral, with buttercup and acacia on the nose. The mouth, however, is a bit more austere and sharp-edged. It delivers steely, bracing acids and narrow flavors of green apple, lemon and tangerine. A tightlyknit Albariño made for shellfish.

Martín Códax 1999 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Best Buy
- $13
With its lovely nose of green apple, floral scents and white peach, its bright feel, and citrus-chalky flavors, what more could you ask for with a plate of oysters or a beautiful piece of sole or turbot? Very refreshing, and at an easy price, too. Best Buy.

Martín Códax 2006 Ergo Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $15
Good and meaty stuff, with bold aromas that feature leather, berry and char. Seems saturated and ripe, and gets better the more air it sees. Flavorwise, we’re talking about plum, blackberry and a little vanilla. Complete on the finish, with all angles covered. Not complicated or complex; good value.

Martín Códax 2006 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $15
Light and limpid, with mild almond, palm butter and citrus aromas. This is a basic, clean wine that offers citrus, pineapple and mango flavors. It’s a bit sweet and monotone in its delivery, but it doesn’t offend and it goes down easy if properly chilled. Imported by Martín Códax USA.

Martín Códax 1998 Organistrum Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $17
Another unusual offering from this producer, an oak-aged Albariño, named after an instrument played by medieval pilgrims. Toasty oak and apple aromas, full apple-earth flavors, and a dry, well-proportioned finish. An exotic, toasty wine for the adventurous.
