It has been many years since I was this enthusiastic about a dry white wine from Rioja, but this 2002 Rioja Placet (100% Viura aged in French oak) is a surprisingly perfumed, elegant effort offering notes of white peaches and flowers. Medium-bodied and crisp, it is an interesting white to drink over the next 1-2 years. At $17 a bottle, it is a good value. Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484
