Readers looking for a terrific dry rose should check out the 2004 Vina Alarba Rose (100% Grenache). It is a fragrant, light-bodied effort displaying surprising flavor intensity as well as a zesty freshness. Pure framboise with good underlying acidity, it should be enjoyed over the next 6-8 months. This is a ridiculously priced bargain! A backwater Spanish appellation, Calatayud is becoming more and more important, especially for terrific wine values. Jorge Ordonez was the first broker in America to exploit this region.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
