Heat from the 2003 vintage aside, this is one sweet, forward, dark-colored Cava. The nose is all about cheeky, sweet fruit, while the palate offers more berry sweetness along with vanilla. Normally this bottling is more restrained and striated, but 2003 was a warm year. May be better with desserts than appetizers, given the ripeness.

Light aromas of lemon, cotton and chalk preface similar flavors, backed by pear notes, on the palate. In the mouth, it’s clean, even and soft, with a little bead. Finishes with more clean lemon-mineral flavors.

Exotic in color and aromas; the nose is sublime and redolent of raspberry and plum fruit. It’s a cheerful, fresh style of rosado, more refined and elegant than bulky and overly fruity. Clean and offering divine black cherry essence.

This vintage rosado is as good as always, but a bit lower on the quality ladder than previous years. The color is light pink and soft on the eye, while the nose suggests brick dust and orange peel. Smooth and easygoing, with sweet, generic flavors of orange and berry.

Light in color with aromas of finely scented bath soap, strawberry, fresh cream and steel. The palate is a touch sweeter than you might expect, and that’s because this is 60% Monastrell (Mourvèdre) along with Garnacha and Pinot Noir. Still, it’s an elegant wine with punch bowl flavors.

Quite light to look at and seemingly like chewing gum upon first sniff. But give it time and inspection and you’ll get melon, lime and crystal-clear acids and body. There’s no fat to this Cava nor any heavy toast or cream. It’s lean and wiry, and the fruit is front and center.

Light and lean, with lively fruit aromas and flavors. Freshness is what this wine pushes, because there’s not much weight or overt sweetness to it. Light apple, a touch of pear, and some lemon-lime is the most that you’re going to get. Still, it works as a palate freshener. Imported by Jorge Ordoñez Selections.

Alluring bubby, regardless of origin or composition. The bouquet is dry, clean and spicy, with crushed raspberry. Full in the mouth, with a perfect texture; the peach and nectarine flavors are delicious. Finishes a bit racy and citrusy, with pink grapefruit and passion fruit. Outstanding rosado cava.

Despite being a no-dosage Cava, Leopardi has a complex, toasty, rich nose along with delicate, elegant pear-influenced fruit. There’s size, pointed bitterness, pepper and length. Voluminous but balanced. Serious by cava standards.

Light, elegant and hinting at lemon-lime on the bouquet. The mouth is mellow, complete and not the least bit aggressive, with peach and melon flavors that turn drier and mildly pithy on the finish. Well-executed and elegant cava, but simple in its totality because it’s brut nature.
