Wine Review: Clean, minerally, slightly green in aromatics and oh so approachable and nice. For an under-$15 white, this Godello from Monterrei excels with layered flavors of apple, minerals and natural spice. The finish is long and hints at fresh herbs like thyme and tarragon. Potentially superb with garlic shrimp or calamari over fresh greens.

Personal Review:  This wine smelled citrusy with a hint of fruit. There was a very strong taste in my throat but I couldn't pick out a very distinct taste. The only thing that I could pinpoint is maybe a bitter almond taste. I did not try this wine with food.
