This wine is a medium-dark red with good clarity. The nose brings a boatload of cherry, black cherry, and plum aromas, with herbal notes and a faint trace of barnyard. The palate is all about the red fruit. Tannins are healthy, acidity is fresh.

In my early days with wine, I paired a Viura with a Triscuit and sharp white cheddar. I thought at the time that it was the best taste I had ever experienced. I still think of that bite often, and I still like to pair Spanish whites with Triscuit and cheese.

This wine is tinted pale yellow and appears quite clear in the glass. Aromas of white nectarine, minerals, and a floral aspect are present, but very faint. The palate brings a savory taste, full of minerality. Acidity is fresh, yet the mouthfeel is full. — a month ago

This wine has a straw color with a greenish tint. Its clarity is crystal. The nose hits me as New World rather than Old. There is a lot of minerality, the scent of wet sidewalk, and grapefruit. The palate brings citrus minerals to the forefront. An herbal note follows. The mouthfeel is full, yet abundant with acidity. It is a fresh wine, ready for spring salads or shrimp cocktails on the patio. — 2 months ago

This wine is medium-dark in the glass. The nose is full of cherry, plum, blackberry, and an herbal note. On the palate, earthy tones shroud the fruit, while a healthy set of tannins excite the tongue. The finish is medium length and the savory notes linger the longest. Pair this wine with beef, lamb, roasted chicken, or even your favorite smash burger. — 22 days ago

This wine is clear yellow in the glass. The nose is rather faint, but there are some nice tropical fruit notes, notably pineapple and banana, along with some salinity. The palate is colored by hints of apricot, dried candy, mango, and almonds. The acidity is about medium intensity, while the finish is lengthy and savory. — a month ago

This wine has a medium ruby color. The nose offers aromas of blackberry, plum, black currant, anise, and a hint of black tea. The palate is very smooth, and loaded with the dark fruit flavors. Tannins are quiet, and the finish is long and earthy. I would pair it with lamb, blackened salmon, or chicken salad. — 2 months ago

This wine has a golden-green tint in the glass. The nose has aromas of apples, pears, and mangoes. The palate offers up the same fruit salad, with the addition of lemony citrus minerality. Acidity is fresh and vibrant, and the oak spice is noticeable but not overpowering. It’s definitely not a bad wine, but it’s not an exceedingly great one, either. You won’t be disappointed unless you set the bar incredibly high. — 2 months ago

This wine has a vibrant yellow-gold color in the glass. Its nose offers lots of lime and lemon, along with stone fruit, mango, and wet-sidewalk minerality. The palate is fruity, yet with a ton of minerals. On the tongue, the acidity is quite fresh and zippy. Pair it with a creamy shrimp dish. — a month ago

9.4

This wine is deeply tinted, indigo, in fact. The nose features aromas of blackberry, plum, black currant, smoke, and a minty herbal angle. On the palate, the black fruit dominates over savory oak tones. The tannins are robust, leaving a dry sensation in the mouth. Pair this with roasted meats, corned beef, lamb, and strong cheeses. — a month ago

9.3

This wine is crystal clear with a golden-green tint to it. The nose is full of minerality, peach, and citrus, but there is a slightly funky herbal edge to the aroma package. It’s a good thing, though. Notable by its absence is a floral component. The palate is a complete joy. The acidity is there, but it’s not razor sharp. The flavors center on lemon and lime citrus, with a savory streak running through it. The mouthfeel is soft and round despite the nice level of acidity. — 2 months ago
