Remelluri’s 2006 Blanco is a blend of Viognier, Chardonnay, Roussanne, Marsanne, Sauvignon Blanc, Garnacha Blanca, and Moscatel del Pai that is a combination of barrel fermented and stainless steel fermented components depending upon the grape variety. Medium straw-colored with a green tint, it offers up a complex and sexy aromatic array of mineral, spice box, pit, and assorted white fruits. Dry on the palate with a viscous texture, it exhibits a fruit cocktail of flavors, excellent depth, and a lengthy finish. Drink it over the next four years.

Questionable value at $70, but this is very good and rather unique white Rioja. Remelluri uses a multitude of common and unheard-of grapes, and they hit it with a lot of oak. Still, amid the oily richness there’s balance, acidity and excellent layering of grass, spice, apple, banana and lemon flavors. Big at 14.5%, but it will go really well with baked fish or lobster. ——M.S.(12/15/2008)—— 90
