The 2010 Rosado sports a lovely bouquet of cherry blossom, strawberry, and rhubarb. Crisp, vibrant, dry, and well-balanced with an uplifting acid structure, this tasty Rose might actually taste better in 2012 than it does now. That’s of more academic interest because there is no compelling reason to delay gratification. Muga’s Blanco is always one of the better values in Spanish white wine.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; Tel. (781) 461-5767

A lively dry rosé, bright and snappy, this offers crisp berry and watermelon flavors, joined by citrus acidity and hints of herb. This is tart, but still has fresh fruit. Drink now. 1,500 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add

Smells like raspberry bubble gum and piercing citrus fruits. The palate, like it has been for several vintages running, is sharp and angular, making this much more of a food wine than a patio quaffer. Flavors of orange, nectarine and lemon border on sour. 60% Garnacha, 30% white Viura and 10% Tempranillo.——M.S.(10/1/2011)—— 86
