Pardas 2007 Aspiru Red (Penedès)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $50
Dry, earthy and leathery on the nose, with finely etched aromas of raspberries, plums and other red berries. This feels fresh and pure, with balance, weight, tannic grip and perfect acidity. It’s bright, forward and juicy, with elevated flavors of plums, berries and peppery spices. A blend of 85% Cab Franc and 15% Cab Sauvignon.  — M.S.  (7/1/2012)

Pardas 2007 Negre Franc Red (Penedès)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $25
Punchy and pure on the bouquet, this has nicely presented blackberry and cassis aromas that are offset by a whiff of dried cheese and leather. It feels snappy, fresh and firm, with toasty, mildly-spicy plum, berry and toasted flavors. Lengthy, juicy and healthy on the finish. Drink now through 2015.  — M.S.  (7/1/2012)

Pardas 2010 Rupestris White (Penedès)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $19
A bit oily on the bouquet, this has slightly acrid notes of burnt hay and matchstick, with notes of apple and nectarine. It feels full and not edgy, with good acidity and limited flavors of baked apple and peach. A standard Penedès wine made from 80% Xarello, with Malvasia and Macabeo.  — M.S.  (7/1/2012)
