Marques de Caceres, Rioja (Spain) Blanco 2009

($9, Vineyard Brands):  To most consumers, Rioja means red.  And to be fair, the vast amount of it is.  Until the last decade or so, the white wine produced in Rioja was not popularity here because it was often oxidized and tired.  But that’s no longer the case.   This one, made entirely from Viura is crisply clean and bright.   Gentle hints grapefruit reinforce its freshness.  It’s an easy choice for simple seafood at a fabulous price. 87 Michael Apstein Oct 19, 2010
