JOSÉ PARIENTE SAUVIGNON BLANC DO Rueda This wine comes from some of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in Rueda, with vines topping out at over 40 years old. After grape selection and cold maceration, the newly vinified wine spent five months resting on its lees in stainless steel. Lively and elegant with notes of citrus, fresh herbs and mineral, it’s a good choice for seafood.

CLUSTER FLOCK VERDEJO/ SAUVIGNON BLANC/ CHARDONNAY • DO Rueda

ANCIANO NO. ‡ GRAN RESERVA ‡ˆ DOCa Rioja This deep-ruby-colored wine has a nose of blackberry and salted almond toŽee. Bright at first sip, it has luxurious tannins that support black-cherry, Mission fig, chocolate-covered caramel, roast fennel-bulb and orange-zest flavors. Pleasing acidity and luxurious tannins stroll arm and arm into a lasting, dark-choco late-infused finish. Editors’ Choice. Score: 94 (Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast , April 1, 2024) Full-bodied & Smooth 37384 (XD) 750 ml $21.95 2

This eclectic blend is irreverently named for the flock of sheep that nearly ruined the harvest by munching the grapes, but were discovered just in time to reduce yields perfectly. The wine is bursting with fresh passion fruit, guava, melon and white peach, all lifted by refreshingly bright acidity. Pair with chicken burgers topped with avocado and tangy mango salsa.
