Born in Michoacan, Mexico, winemaker Edgar Torres has lived in the coastal town of Cambria, California since the age of 8. As it seems to happen to many people who live close to Paso Robles, Read More...
he fell in love with wine and decided to make his livelihood in the wine business. Hey…can you blame him?!? He has worked with many of the superstars of the Central Coast, including Matt Garretson, Augie Hug, and Alta Maria Vineyards. Today, he is the assistant winemaker at Barrel 27, and works alongside one of our best friends, McPrice Myers (what a mentor!), when Edgar isn’t tinkering on his own wines. We sampled his latest releases a few months ago, and they really knocked our socks off! The intensity of these wines are rivaled by few here in the United States, and we suggest you check out what Edgar can do!
The "La Guera" bottling is comprised of Albarino, Chardonnay, and Viognier.

"The 2011 Granbazan Etiqueta Ambar has a glorious, floral bouquet with racy lemon, bruised apple and granitic scents Read More...
that are pure class. The palate is fresh and zesty with a crisp seam of acidity; bright apple-y fruit and a touch of spice towards the poised finish. If I were to quibble, the palate does not quite match the aromatics, but it remains an excellent Albarino. Drink now-2018."
Bodega Granbazan is located in Tremoedo, in the Salnes sub-zone of Rias Baixas. Owners Manuel Otero and his nephew Jesus Alvarez own 17 hectares of 30-year-old Albarino vines that is supplemented by long-term contract with growers. Grapes are hand-picked, de-stemmed and undergo six to eight hours of cold maceration, while fermentation is undertaken in concrete and steel tanks using both natural and cultured yeast. I adore their evocative, rather old-fashioned labels with their maritime-themed drawings and equally, more importantly, I loved the wines inside. These are pure Rias Baixas Albarinos that brim over with crispness, flavor and authenticity.

The La Cana is a wine that will surprise you with its zip. It shows a mix of nectarine and apricot that is pure Albarino, but it is fresher and crisper than most with a subdued note Read More...
of minerality on the mid-palate and finish that is just enough to make the wine-geeks happy. The winemaker here is Alister Gardner from New Zealand and while the flavors are purely a reflection of Spanish soils and grapes, the wine's artful balance of fruit and acidity holds the same excitement of many New Zealand wines.

A beautiful Albarino, pale yellow in color, with hints of gold and green. Star bright. On the nose we find fruit aromas, some of them tropical, with green apple, banana and melon Read More...
standing out. Initially soft on the palate, with pleasing acidity, which develops into a harmony of fruit, dominated by peach. Long in the finish, highly aromatic, lightly bittersweet, a classic characteristic of Albarino
