Bodegas Muga Grenache Blend Rioja Rosado 2011

The nose showed light strawberry and melon with spring floral notes and a bit of peppery spice peaking through. On the palate it was medium bodied with brisk acidity that lit up the senses and the slightest hint of fruit sweetness. Flavors of nectarine and peach were prominent, mixing with minerals and staying through the finish.

beautiful classic notes as if its from Provence, France. citrus, bright acidity, strong minerality with some white peach, a bit of fennel, and some nectarine. great for this hot summer solstice day!

Bright, pale salmon hue, with aromas of dried stone fruits and flowers; fresh flavor notes of tart red berries and citrus, carried by good acidity to a dry floral and ripe watermelon, passion fruit finish. Great rose' value.

My first ever review of a rose wine, not bad! This wine was part of the Snooth tasting, and having tried it at G.B. Russo's last weekend I picked up a bottle and chilled it expecting a resumption of the unbearably hot weather we've had so far this summer. So tonight's the night! I figure I like Rioja, so that at least gives this wine a head start right? The wine has a nice blush color in the glass, almost an orange-pink hue. The nose is quite pleasant with aromas of fresh strawberry and citrus, with just a mild hint of grass. The wine tastes of bright fruit at the outset, with strawberry and fresh cut melon, quickly giving way to a mild flavor of ruby red grapefruit and fresh herbs with a sharp acidity. The finish is clean and crisp, with very mild tannins resulting in a very dry, but short finish. see here for the full review: http://allaloneonaplanetfullofpeople.blogspot.com/2012/06/2011-muga-rioja-rose.html

Pale pink. Fragrant with white and pink flowers. Its delicacy creates austerity on the nose. Some stone and mineral noticeable. Flavors of wild strawberry, cantaloupe and rich berry flavors. Tangy, zingy berry fruit with great acid and nice balance. Some zesty spice and a hint of salinity. Really tasty! 6/20/12

white peach with a hint of citrus. crisp and bright acid

So good. not sappy sweet, some nice fruit notes. not a big finish, but so refreshing.
