Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lucid in the glass, and that’s half the battle when you’re talking about basic, everyday whites such as this Viura-Verdejo blend. The nose is light as air, with lemony accents. Meanwhile, the fresh but lean palate offers lime, pineapple and cleansing acidity. And that’s more or less what you get.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Smells more meaty and leathery than you might expect for a basic, young Tempranillo. But enough berry fruit sneaks through to make it a solid but narrow wine driven by red plum and other standard red-fruit flavors. Finishes fresh but lean.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Despite basic strawberry and red licorice aromas, this wine is decidedly tart. It hits with snappy nectarine flavors and then turns citric and finishes up sour. Doesn’t offer much rosé pleasure; makes you wonder what’s the point.
