* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This bargain Pinot Noir is a pleasant surprise from Romania’s Prahova Valley with pretty aromas of black cherries, bark and menthol. Concentrated plum and cherry flavors are countered by darker notes of coffee grinds, earth and bramble. Medium bodied with balanced tannins and acidity, it’s a straightforward, everyday kind of wine, but a promising start for Romania’s wine industry.

Elegant and feminine on the nose with lovely cassis, toasted oak and violet notes, this medium-bodied Cab is another excellent bargain from Romania’s Prahova Valley. Sturdy tannins and a pleasant astringency add structure to the luscious, ripe red fruits on the palate. It’s high in acid, but well balanced, ending in a puckery, sour cherry finish.

This medium-bodied Romanian Merlot is herbaceous and woody on the nose with notes of vanilla, toasted oak and black cherries. The fleshy red plum flavors compete awkwardly with a green, stalky profile and strong tannins, but finishes on a pleasant sour cherry note.

There are pleasant scents of vanilla, spice and poached pears on this Romanian Chardonnay, but the palate suffers from bracingly high acidity and faint apple flavors lacking depth and concentration. The finish is short and ends on notes of sawdust.
