2008 Paso a Paso Verdejo, La Mancha – $11.50
Spanish Verdejo is similar to Sauvignon Blanc – light and crisp. The Paso a Paso boasts a pale green-gold color and fresh citrus taste – a perfect summer aperitif.
2008 Muga Rosado, Rioja – $13
A blend of Grenache, Viura and Tempranillo – deep salmon in color, smooth, dry and a great spring BBQ wine.
2007 Can Blau, Montsant – $19
A Carignan, Syrah, Grenache blend from Montsant in southern Catalonia, just outside the more prestigious and more expensive Priorat region. Inky ruby/purple color and deep, ripe fruit with a delicious mineral finish.
2004 Vinas del Cenit Tempranillo, Villanueva de Campean, Zamora – $34
Rich, smokey cherry, chocolate and espresso notes. Dusty tannins and good acid with a big finish from very old vines. Ageworthy.
