Dominio Buenavista 2007 Veleta Rosé Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra Contraviesa Alpujarra)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Good wines sometimes come out of the woodwork, such as this Tempranillo rosé from the Granada area. It presents as candy apple, both in color and bouquet. But the palate shows nicely with raspberry and cherry flavors. Gets the job done and stirs some interest. Just 350 cases made.

Dominio Buenavista 2006 Veleta Cabernet Sauvignon (Vino de la Tierra Contraviesa Alpujarra)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Sweet and syrupy, with molasses on the nose. On one hand it’s rich, ripe and flavorful, but also cooked, lumpy and heavy. It’s almost like a sweet red; sappy and made to be drunk soon.

Dominio Buenavista 2008 Veleta Vijiriega White (Vino de la Tierra Contraviesa Alpujarra)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Ripe apple and nutty aromas suggest some light oak, while the palate is wet at first and then more drawn and dry as it moves along. Flavors of apple and spice are mildly alluring, while the finish is chunky and broad. Made from the uncommon Vijiriega grape and hails from Granada.

Dominio Buenavista 2006 Veleta Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra Contraviesa Alpujarra)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
There’s no shortage of power here. Forward berry aromas mixed with earth and leather ring true, while the palate is layered, broad, chewy and offers bright cherry and plum flavors. It dries out well on the finish, leaving tasty notes of pepper and herbs. From the Granada area.

Dominio Buenavista 2008 Veleta Chardonnay (Vino de la Tierra Contraviesa Alpujarra)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Roll out the barrel, or the staves, or the oak dust, or whatever it is that gives this modest Chardonnay such an overpowering wood element. Amid all the toast and burnt popcorn there’s honey, butter, baked white fruits and pretty good core acidity. Imported by JNJ International Inc.

Dominio Buenavista 2006 Veleta Nolados Red (Vino de la Tierra Contraviesa Alpujarra)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
One of the strangest-smelling wines we’ve encountered from Spain: there’s forced cinnamon, heavy funk, dampness and other unfamiliar, foreign scents. The palate has weight and a gritty feeel, while the core flavors are Sherried. Hard to see the appeal here.
