Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Simple but clean in the nose, with just a hint of cheesy pungency. The palate veers toward tangerine and pineapple. The finish is sharp and acidic. Best Buy.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Can’t really say there’s much difference between this and Carta Vieja’s Classico SB. Both are bland, with chunky apple and pear characteristics. Neither has much of a pulse, but on the plus side they aren’t nasty or aggressive. This “limited release” turns out to be a basic wine for basicoccasions.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Reasonably nice peach, melon and apple flavors are nothing extraordinary, but together they make for a decent nose. The palate is soft but not what you’d call flabby, while flavors of pear, apple and banana are innocuous and shouldn’t send anyone running to the door. For best results, drinknow.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Funky and lactic, with sweet, heavy fruit that falls into the canned pear and apple class. Heavy on the finish, with some green bean and asparagus poking through the mix.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Melon and crushed children’s vitamins comprise the nose, while spiked tangerine and pineapple flavors carry the palate. Fairly solid, with an almost jazzy mouthfeel.
