Codorníu NV Jaume de Codorniú Brut Sparkling (Cava)

Online Exclusive

More mature and minerally than most, with some earthy notes as well as a sharp smokiness. Apple, citrus and grapefruit flavors dominate the developed, smooth-textured palate. Nice overall, with good body. A stand-up cava. — M.S. (6/1/2005)

Codorníu NV Reserva Raventós Brut Sparkling (Cava)

Price $14

Crisp and clean, thus it qualifies as a perfect apéritif wine. Secure in its apple and slate aromas and flavors, with a firm but persistent bead that fosters a fine mouthfeel. Best with nuts, olives, chips and especially seafood. — M.S. (6/1/2006)

Codorníu NV Original Brut Sparkling (Cava)

Best Buy

Price $9

With some toast and popcorn to fatten up the standard apple aromas, this is a fairly rich cava, especially given the price. Apple, pear and cinnamon flavors grace the palate, while the finish is persistent beyond expectations. Not overly bubbly but still lively. Strides better than your average quaffer. — M.S. (12/15/2006)

Codorníu NV Brut Pinot Noir (Cava)

Price $14

Pinot Noir-based cavas are touchy; sometimes they take on a rough, peppery personality that some might find offputting. This wine does that, but only to an extent. The nose pushes peach pit and campfire aromas, while the palate features dry fruits like papaya and melon, but with cinnamon and pepper shadings. Good mouthfeel and well made, but the flavors and aromas… — M.S. (12/15/2006)

Codorníu NV Brut Pinot Noir (Cava)

Best Buy

Price $12

Robust and smoky to the nose, with a tight palate that drifts first toward light citrus and then toward sweeter almond candy. Snappy and fresh, with a fuller body and some style. — M.S. (12/15/2004)

Codorníu NV Cuvée Raventós Brut Sparkling (Cava)

Best Buy

Price $10

Smooth and crisp, with aromas of apple and white pepper offsetting sweeter butterscotch and caramel notes. Feels right on the palate, and tastes good. The zesty spiced-apple flavor is just what the doctor ordered. A lasting finish seals the deal. — M.S. (12/15/2004)

Codorníu NV Cuvée Raventos Sparkling (Cava)

Price $13

You’ll find plenty to like in this bubbly. The aromas are very refined and Champagnesque, with toast, lees, vanilla, spice, charcoal and a waft of citrus. The flavors are similarly of toast and mineral. This is not a fruit-driven wine. It’s a little rough around the edges; the bubbles are scoury, not refined. But the price is great, and it is a good value. Should… — P.G. (12/15/2000)

Codorníu NV Rosé Cava Pinot Noir (Penedès)

Price $15

Codorníu makes a consistent rosé Cava from Pinot Noir. It’s smoky and spicy, with cured meat aromas and a true earthy Pinot character. Flavors of orange are somewhat linear and monotone, but that one note is a good flavor, and a fresh and clean one as well. — M.S. (12/15/2009)
