Leather, berry and slight green aromas carry the nose toward a tart, domineering palate. Quite acidic at first glance, and then buttery on the finish. Imported by HAB North America.

Brawny plum and blackberry aromas feature notes of bacon, rubber and leather, all of which lead you to expect big, ripe flavors. But the news is, those flavors aren’t anywhere to be found. The profile is tangy and lean, with sharp berry notes. Quick and simple on the finish, with aggressive acidity and tannins.

Heavy and sweaty at first, with a fat texture and forward fruit. It takes this wine a couple of minutes to show its black core and some spicy heat. Finishes with obvious flavors of oak and coffee.

Sulfuric, with hints of wet dog and matchstick. The palate is adequate, with green bean and white pepper mixed in with some apple. Some spice and mint on the finish stirs interest in what’s otherwise a bland wine.

Probably the best wine from this producer that we’ve rated. It’s meaty and rich, with mocha, crusty oak, aged cheese and kirsch aromas. The palate is juicy and balanced, with licorice, blackberry, blueberry and other dark, ripe flavors. Finishes lengthy and toasty, with some refinement. 1,500 cases made.

Having never tried this Viura-Malvasia blend before, we say it’s nicely done. The nose rings of baked apple and deftly applied oak, while the palate is fresh but also deep and textured. Flavors of apple and pear are accented by vanilla and toast, and overall it’s composed and shows character. Drink now through 2012. Only 250 cases made.

Flat and gassy. Bland apple flavors carry the palate, followed by a short, low-acid finish. Imported by HAB North America.
