The 2011 Finca La Emperatriz Viura comes from a parcel of 50-year-old bush vines. It sports a crisp nose of lime, crisp green apple and a touch of dried apricot that is well-defined and as fresh as a daisy. The palate has a sorbet-like freshness on the entry, racy acidity, but there is more than enough tropical-tinged fruit to back it up. This is an excellent Viura with an excellent price. Drink now-2016. Bodegas La Emperatriz, named after its 19th century owner “Eugenia de Montijo” (the wife of Napoleon III), is located in Rioja Alta. It is owned by Victor and Eduardo Hernaiz, and the present winemaker is David Gonzalez. Theirs is a hugely impressive portfolio that singles out specific parcels and terroirs, though you should not ignore their excellent Crianza and Reserva. Factor in a wallet-friendly price and you have a winning formula.Importer: Vinergia USA, NY; www.vinergia.com
