Winery Review: With the best Verdejo we expect both texture and complexity along with a vibrant, lemony citrus character and a healthy dose of pear. With Bornos, two fun things happen as well: it exhibits little of the grassy notes found in some Verdejo (or its occasional amigas Viura or Sauvignon Blanc), and the finish has a fascinating, almost tangible pear-skin note. Drink in the next few years.
My Thoughts: Color is a very light yellow. The nose is a strong lemon peel with hints of orange and some floral notes. When tasting the first sensation is a hit of acid, which mellows into a citrus lemon flavor, the finish is short with some mineral aftertaste. I liked this wine, far more than any of the Sauvignon Blancs I have tried.
