Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The juicy berry fruit on the nose carries a green herb element. While smooth in texture, the black cherry flavors of the palate seem a touch sharp and underripe. A touch of leather and caramel picks up the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An intriguing nose of lemon, orange and flowers leads on this balanced white from Romania. On the palate, poised, developed flavors of spice, citrus and a touch of honey end with a clean flourish. An elegant solo sip or great with seafood and spicy dishes.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With its exuberant, fruity nose and flavors of grapefruit and flowers, this makes an interesting and fun sip. The primary qualities are appealing but there’s not much dimension. Pair it with a nice plate of seafood and drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The spicy, floral nose on this white is enticing enough, but on the palate, the flavors are a touch watery and flat. Clean and refreshing grass and citrus elements are there, but need a touch more muscle. Overall, though, a pleasant wine.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The nose on this Merlot begins promisingly enough, with its cherry, deep spice and smoked edge, but on the palate, the wine is slightly rough and hot, and lacks the integration of a good Merlot. Still, pair it with the robust, flavorful food of Romania and it will make an apt cohort.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Appealing aromas of berry and pepper spice lead this likeable Merlot from Romania. Integrated but somewhat simple, the wine nontheless has an overall elegant character and tannins with enough chew to temper aging. An interesting choice from an emerging (to the U.S.) wine region.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A soft, integrated nose of red berry, spice and some smoke leads on this Merlot from Romania. The berry and spice flavors are slightly angular with a sweet, wooded finish, and the tannins pronounced. A mildly rustic Merlot that could use some aging or a good piece of meat to temper the edge.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Cigar, mocha and gamy spice start this Merlot from Romania, and on the palate, it’s slightly spiky and needs more integration. Overall, though, warming spices and appealing fruit flavors save the day.
