This is a blend 60% Garnacha Tinta,and 40% Viura from Rioja, Spain.  Light but intense pink/orange in color, clear and bright.  The nose is lovely with cherries, strawberries, minerals and slight citrus.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, this has nice balance with good fruit.  Cherries, slight black cherries, strawberries and also some minerality.  Good finish.  This is very food friendly and should work well with most foods and it drinks well on its own.  A nice pairing with Sauteed vegetables over rice.  Drink over the next year or two.  Nice value.

This is a very nice Rosé wine from Rioja in Spain.  It is a blend of 60% Tempranillo, 30% Viura and 10% Garnacha.  It is a pale salmon pink in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with slight cherries and strawberries and a touch of lemon citrus.  Light to medium bodied.  Nice texture.  Good acidity.  On the palate, the strawberries and watermelons come thru.  Long finish.  This is nice on its own and will work well with most foods.  It made a nice choice for Pizza Night.  Drink over the next year or two.
