Winery - Juve Y Camps
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A little gritty and tough on the nose, with hard strawberry and kirsch aromas. The palate is voluminous and foamy, with flavors of burnt blood orange and grilled pink grapefruit. Yes, there’s a hard, burnt element to the wine, but this being Pinot Noir from Penedès that’s to be expected.

Quite complex, leesy and creamy, with all the apple, peach, white pepper and exotic, delicate spice notes one could ask for. As Cava goes, this is expensive and elevated; it is made with 20% Chardonnay along with the other usual cava grapes, and the result is exemplary. Drink now or hold thru 2011.

Peach pit, almond skin and other dry, waxy aromas carry the nose on this Macabeo-Xarello-Parellada blend. Flavors of lime and nettle are playful and acid-based, while the finish seems wet and fresh. Overall it is much like a cava without the bubbles.

Give this stylish wine a few minutes to rev its engine and you’ll be rewarded with warm pear and apple aromas. The palate is equally nice as it focuses on apple, pear and peach flavors. The finish is relatively long, clean and pretty, and overall it’s a very nice wine with a hint of intricacy and complexity.

Dry and spicy on the nose, but also a little cooked smelling. The flavors of this 100% Pinot Noir, but the flavors seem confected as they conjure memories of cherry Coke. The finish is short and leaks flavor, and always does the wine seem a bit strained.

A fine Cava at a very good price. As a brut nature, it’s extremely fresh and clean-cut, with light aromas of vanilla bean, dried white fruits and very little in the way of lees or egg aromas. Active bubbles and a crisp finish allow it to achieve its goals.

Fairly big and yeasty, with earth and mushroom notes that offer complexity to the apple and pear aromas that dominate. Fruity enough, with hints of nutmeg and white pepper. Richly texured with a ton of body. Roundness is its calling card. Imported by Winebow.

Floral smelling with a hint of bath soap and/or air freshener. Aged about 18 months on its lees, this has a distinct set of citrus flavors that run toward pink grapefruit, blood orange and raspberry. Call it simple, lean, balanced and good.

For a consistently pleasing brut nature (no added sweetness), Juvé y Camps is one place to turn. This wine is dominated by match stick, apple, pear and light vanilla aromas, which are backed by meet-in-the-middle flavors of citrus, apple and celery. It’s a bit sheer and tangy, but it’s also genuinely refreshing and not the least bit sweet.

Snappy and a little green on the nose, with hints of juniper and green apple. The palate is perfectly good but nothing special, while the flavors of apple and citrus are punchy and pure. Frothy but controlled, with lots of flavor and forward kick. Apéritif city!
