Acorex 2003 Amaro Red

  1. $59
An appealing nose of leather and tobacco on this wine is followed by elegant flavors of red berry, cigar and game. Good structure, complexity and spice means the wine can age, but it’s ready to drink now. An applaudable effort from an historic wine-producing region.  — S.K.  (11/15/2007)

Acorex 2003 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

  1. $16
Game, red berry, spice and a hint of mint characterize this attractive Cabernet. Tannins are sturdy and though not terribly complex, this has personality and a good finish. Great with smoked meats or a winter stew.  — S.K.  (11/15/2007)

Acorex 2004 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc

  1. $16
There’s a slightly eccentric nose to this Moldovan SB, with its baked vanilla and floral notes, and on the palate, the wine is a bit overwrought and grapy. But despite these hiccups, the wine offers overall refreshing citrus flavors and a nice spin of spice.  — S.K.  (8/1/2008)

Acorex 2004 Cuvée Aleksandr Blanc de Blancs Brut Sparkling

  1. $23
A sweet, heady nose of citrus and minerals leads on this pretty but simple sparkler. Robust flavors of toast and minerals offer roundness, character and a food-friendly slant, but the wine needs some complexity.  — S.K.  (12/31/2007)

Acorex 2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot

  1. $16
This blend from Moldova shows promising aromas of red berry, black pepper and cinnamon spice on the nose but on the palate, the fruit expression is lacking. Still, there are appealing hints of oak and spice and the wine has an exotic overall character that will pair well with ethnic and meat dishes.  — S.K.  (11/15/2007)
