Here’s a dry, crisp, apple-and-citrus Verdejo that’s stony and good from head to toe. In the mouth, it’s wet, juicy and biting, while the flavors of green fruits, lemon, celery, fresh lettuce and sweet bell pepper are tangy and fresh. Quite nice for a 100,000-case, $10 quaffer.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 88

Nice and fresh, and definitely the best vintage of Analivia we’ve tasted to date. The nose bursts with floral aromas, apricot, apple and minerality, while the palate is clean as a whistle, with apple, tangerine and pineapple flavors. Slightly pithy on the finish, but that’s normal for Verdejo from Rueda.——M.S.(11/1/2010)—— 89

A bit overblown, with punch bowl aromas and flabby, semisweet grapefruit and tangerine flavors. Would be better if more steely and acidic; as is, it’s tasty and game, but maybe too full and round.——M.S.(6/1/2008)—— 84
