Zarate 2004 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $18
It’s already too late for an ’04 Albariño, but this one still has some life and kick in it. The nose has some peanut and lacquer, but overall apple aromas ride high. In the mouth, it shows the oily quality of an aging white along with peach, citrus and nut flavors.

Zarate 2009 Balado Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Tight, citric and minerally up front, with less-than-expressive white fruit aromas. Extremely high in acidity, which is why this wine is still kicking. Tastes of tart white grapes and citrus, with zest galore on the finish. 220 cases produced.

Zarate 2010 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Minerally on the bouquet, with apple and oceanic notes. Turns citric and acidic on the palate, with pineapple, orange and tangy flavors. Shows astringency on the finish, but at least it’s juicy and driving.

Zarate 2008 El Palomar Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Waxy and oily on the nose, then narrow as a thin line on the palate. Feels linear and sharp, with lemony flavors that come with a green apple accent. Tastes aged and maderized on the finish, despite displaying lemony acidity and tartness.
— M.S.
