2009 Vina Mein Vina Mein Fermentado en Barrica
Ribeiro, Spain
WA, #195, Jun 2011 - Jay Miller
The 2009 Vina Mein Fermentado en Barrica displays a whiff of butter, a hint of mineral, melon, and other white fruits. It is a tasty, lengthy effort that lacks the vibrancy of the unoaked cuvee. Nevertheless, it is an outstanding effort that will also drink well for another 5 years.

Finca Vina Mein
2010 Ribeiro($23)
International Wine Cellar, #158, Sept./Oct. - Josh Raynolds
(80% treixadura, 10% godello, 5% loureiro and the rest albarino, torrontes, albilla and caino): Pale yellow-gold. Fresh melon and fig aromas are complicated by notes of peach pit and licorice. Impressively complex and lithe, with penetrating citrus and pit fruit flavors braced by dusty minerals. An herbal note builds with air and carries through the long, dry, sharply focused finish.

($19) Bright yellow-gold. Spicy orchard and citrus fruits on the nose, with a note of licorice coming up with air. Dry and energetic, offering zesty lemon and pink grapefruit flavors and a sweeter melon note on the back. Finishes juicy and persistent, with a lingering citrus note. - J.R.(International Wine Cellar Sept/Oct 2009)

2007 Viña Mein
Ribeiro
$19; a blend based on treixadura
Light yellow, with a CO2 haze. Spicy pear and melon aromas are complemented by floral honey and herbs. Light in body but full-flavored, with deep citrus and orchard fruit complemented by slow-mounting spiciness. Finishes broad, creamy and persistent. This is concentrated enough to pair with richer fish dishes but precise and nervy enough to work alone. -J.R. (International Wine Cellar 9/08)
