Ostatu Rioja Alavesa Cosecha 2010

This Spanish white from Ostatu is a tasty entrance into Spring!

Palest yellow, with fresh and lively scents of honeydew, citrus, and pineapple. A bright blend of green apple, minerals, and mild acidity with a slightly sweet finish.

Domaine D'Auphilhac Lou Maset 2008

Deep and full nose with gentle pepper and spices plus a hint of berries. This is a medium-to-full bodied red that rides the fence between simple and complex with a mixture of plum and spice, a bit of tannins. Easy on the finish with a hint of dried roses.
