Grosgrain Phillips Vineyard Albariño (2025) – Bright, saline, and sharply focused, this Yakima Valley Albariño highlights the direction producers like Grosgrain are pushing Washington white wine right now. Phillips Vineyard provides the fruit source, but the precision comes from Grosgrain’s restrained winemaking approach and emphasis on acidity, texture, and site expression. Citrus blossom, lime zest, underripe peach, and wet stone notes carry through a nervy palate with clean mineral tension and a refreshing finish. Crisp enough for oysters and seafood, but textured enough to handle richer dishes as well, this is a compelling domestic take on Albariño that feels energetic and distinctly modern.
