Aromaer av kirsebær, bringebær og krydret eik åpner denne solide, klassiske Riojaen. Smaker av ristet plomme og solbær blir mer eikepregede på ettersmaken, mens avslutningen føles frisk og smaker let…
Treaktige, lett oksiderte aromaer av Cream of Wheat og svømmebassengvann gir vei til ren trefiber. Dette føles både harpiksaktig og salt, med uabsorberte, rå smaker av eikefat, salt og sagflis. Sitro…
Pulveraktige melonaromaer er myke og lette. Dette er sorten Verdil, en hvit drue som er innfødt i Valencia-regionen, og den har standard vekt og syrlighet. Mild appelsin, melon og gjærsmaker avslutte…
Hesteterpener av furu og einer kommer med et teppe av eik som gir melkaktige, plastaktige dufter. Klypende, klemende og gummiaktig på ganen, denne tanninrike blandingen av Garnacha, Cabernet Franc og…
Every wine from this house has exotic aromas and flavors that aren't matched elsewhere, which isn't to say that Valdelana's wines offer fool-proof likability. This wine smells funky and tastes of tob…
Opens with a warm, baked nose of raisin, roasted plum and tobacco. The palate is scouring and crisp due to sharp acids, and thus the flavors follow suit in that they're lean and tart and focus on pie…
Cherry and leather aromas show a stemmy, brambly element. The mouthfeel is sharp and scratchy, while the flavors are a mix of reedy tobacco, raspberry and cherry. Choppy but juicy and lively on the f…
Aromas of sweet black cherry and dark plum form a good bouquet. The palate has smack and acidic bite, but the flavors are forward and clean, with a focus on plum and black cherry. Finishes full and l…
Reddish in color and big on the bouquet, with sweet berry and cherry aromas. The palate is full and fun, with acidity and heavier, sweeter flavors of strawberry, raspberry and sweet plum. Handles its…
Opens with air freshener, chemical notes, lime and pastis aromas. Overall it doesn't smell light and ethereal like some Moscatels, but it's honest and varietally correct throughout. Tastes of honey,…
Berry aromas are jammy and show a pinch of green. The palate matches the nose; it's jammy and soft, with blackberry and spiced plum flavors. Tastes good and rich but feels heavy and a little flabby.
Pecan and brown sugar aromas float around a sharp core of citrus that's reflected on the palate via tangy, dry orange and apricot flavors. The mouthfeel smacks down hard with acidity; overall it comb…
A dusty, yeasty nose is simplistic but friendly. On the palate, this foams up in an aggressive manner, yet orange and peach flavors ride a wave of bubbly foam towards a lightly citrusy but plump fini…
Given the overall high quality of the 2010 vintage in Spain, this oaky, slightly volatile-smelling wine is just average. The palate is slightly stewed and cloying in feel, while ultraripe blackberry…
Pinched and wiry-smelling on the nose, this Garnacha comes around with earthy red-berry aromas in front of a full, chunky, fairly oaky palate. Flavors of blackberry and vanilla are good but common, w…
Dusty aromas include notes of apple cider, cured meat and cumin. A loosely built palate features slightly mealy, lightly bitter flavors of pithy citrus and mango, while the finish is plump but not te…
Valtravieso Winery is now run by the international wine consultant Michel Rolland and Javier Galaretta. This ripe, stewy blend of Tempranillo and Merlot shows aromas of animal, cheesy oak and soft be…
Yeasty, slightly stalky aromas of melon, citrus and peach are simple yet fresh. This feels solid, pulpy and fleshy, but not flabby; flavors of melon, papaya and white grapefruit finish pithy and slig…
While this is largely neutral-smelling, it's flush in the mouth, with pithy citrus and green apple flavors. Lasting and steady on the finish, this blend of Chardonnay and Muscat is juicy and alert af…
Waxy stone-fruit aromas come with a shot of butterscotch but also a whiff of chemical cleanser. In the mouth, this blend of Viura and Malvasia is full-bodied and braced by sharp acidity. Flavors of w…
Earthy aromas of cola and baked berry fruits introduce a saturated, tannic mouthfeel that supports dark-berry flavors that turn more herbal, stalky and mulchy with airing. The more this sits in the g…
Coconut, vanilla and dill aromas sit on top of solid berry scents to form a classic Rioja bouquet. Feels fresh and agile, with acidity that allows the wine to dance around on the palate. Tastes of re…
Spicy berry fruit aromas are straightforward and pretty good. This wine feels firm and centered, with plum, berry and cherry flavors. A reasonably deep finish offers residual berry notes and peppery…
A lean but lucid nose shows piquant floral scents. The palate on this Garnacha-Syrah is choppy and abrupt, with high acidity and rubbery tannins. Medicinal red plum and red-currant flavors finish wit…
