Blackberry and raisin with a sharp smokiness carries the nose. The palate is not overly generous, but it does house berry, spice and vanilla flavors along with some clipped tannins. Has the components but not the harmony. Imported by Newton Land Development, Inc.

Bierzo in northwest Spain is best known for the red Mencía grape, but here we find organic Godello with hay, corn and other slightly overripe aromas. To continue on the theme, the palate is a touch baked and soft, with spongy melon and papaya flavors. A pliable wine that may already be past its prime. Imported by Newton Land Development, Inc.

Rubbery and not all that convincing on the nose. The palate is sizable but also acidic, which leads to a tart, almost sour flavor profile that is dominated by tangy cherry skins and citrus zest. Imported by Newton Land Development, Inc.
