This is light and dusty upfront, with solid cherry and raspberry aromas. Smooth, silky and somewhat creamy in feel, it features a mixture of fresh tomato, plum and spice flavors. Snappy and perfectly clean, with light to medium intensity. Drink now.

This wine registers a step above most in its price range. It’s very smooth and seductive on the nose, with aromas of fine tree bark and pure berry fruit. The palate deals tobacco, tomato, vanilla and raspberry flavors, while the finish is relaxed and long. Correct in every way, with a touch of flash and class.

Fresh plum and berry aromas come with a touch of barrel resin. The palate is lively, tight and racy, with dried cherry, fresh tomato, leather and herbal flavors. Finishes long, warm and minty, and it improves bit by bit with airing and time. Drink now.

Sweet berry aromas blend with dark chocolate and leather on the nose. The palate is proper feeling and well balanced, with oak-driven chocolaty flavors supporting berry fruit. Finishes with a dry, spicy aftertaste.

The question is: How scouring and razor’s edge do you like it? If you like it sharp but clean, then this is a winner. It’s minerally and green in style, with Granny Smith apple and lime on the palate and finish. Juicy, crisp and bone dry Viura.
