84 Haciendas Durius 2003 Viura-Sauvignon Blanc (Alto Duero); $13. Quite light in color and mute on the nose, with faint apple and honeydew flavors on the smooth but soft palate. Lacks the drive normally associated with these grapes. Despite that, it tastes o.k.

Smooth and stylish from the opening gun. The nose has mint, pineapple and a piquant sharpness that work in unison. In the mouth you’ll find apple, pear, grapefruit and passion fruit. It’s a real winner, with admirable balance and plenty of flavor.

Surprisingly round and earthy, with licorice and cherry aromas. The palate is sassy yet mostly sweet, and the finish is full of berries and cream. Not fat or overly modern, yet it still brings ripeness and chocolate to offset its leathery qualities.
