Harmonious on the nose and palate with ripe black plums and cassis enveloped by a layer of char and smoke. Medium to full bodied with structured acidity, it’s a straightforward but sound Merlot with powdery, soft tannins and a tasty black cherry and graham cracker finish.

A slightly green nose is tempered by aromas of cherry, spice and dried herbs in this Bulgarian Merlot. Soft, integrated flavors are of vanilla, spice and berry.

Soft blackberry, cinnamon and pepper aromas lead flavors of juicy berry and savory spice in this Merlot from Bulgaria. Good tannins and structure give the wine ageability, which will also temper its oaky character. Overall, an impressive effort from an emerging region.

Vini 2008 Veni Vidi Vici Cabernet Sauvignon (Thracian Valley)
- Best Buy
- $8
Herbaceous notes of dill and green wood converge with ripe, sweet plum and spice aromas on this medium-bodied, bargain Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon. Although initially soft with notes of sweet blackberry, it gains earthiness in the midpalate. Firm tannins offer structure, but the vanilla finish drops a bit abruptly.

Targovishte 2006 Traminer (Bulgaria)
- Best Buy
- $10
This white has a big, lovely floral nose that leads into bigger, more complex fruit flavors with some heft, but also a poise that keeps it from plodding. Accessible and pretty, the wine is good for solo sipping or paired with cheeses, or even desserts.

Vini 2002 Meritage (Sliven)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $7
Although this may not come across like a Merlot, it still offers great value. Plenty of vanilla mixes with deep berry and spice aromas, while the dark, extracted mouth offers a lush feel with good tannin matched with black berry and white pepper.
