Rolland & Galarreta, Rueda (Spain) Verdejo 2014

($22): Michel Rolland, owner of Château Bon Pasteur in Pomerol and consulting wine maker to scores of properties around the world, has had an enormous impact changing the style of wine.  His stylistic imprint is most apparent in the reds, making them riper and bolder.  Judging from this wine, he — the master of Merlot — is truly multitalented.  Not tasting riper or bolder, this white from Rueda is instead flowery and fresh with a seductive texture.  A bright finish keeps you coming back for more.
