Sort By:

Oliver Conti 2009 Treyu White (Empordà)

Price $16

Floral fragrances from the Gewürztraminer come with honey and leesy aromas. The mouthfeel is creamy and oily, and next up is a melony flavor profile and a smooth finish. Mild on the acidity, so it’s in top form now. An exotic, intriguing blend of Gewürz and Macabeo with character; 1,100 cases made. — M.S. (7/1/2011)

Oliver Conti 1999 Red (Emporadà-Costa Brava)

Price $43

Round and interesting, with a nose of sweaty leather and a hint of barnyard. The palate deals red licorice, plum and chocolate cake, while the finish is sweet and a bit chewy. It improves with airing and tastes riper and more accessible than the greener 1998. — M.S. (3/1/2004)

Oliver Conti 1998 Red (Emporadà-Costa Brava)

Price $39

This Bordeaux blend from extreme northeastern Spain is balanced and even, flavorful and silky. From the earth, leather and mint nose through tart berry and faintly anise-tinged flavors, it’s surprisingly elegant. Finishes dry, with gentle tannins and hints of licorice, earth and mushrooms.

Oliver Conti 2008 White (Empordà)

Online Exclusive

Price $45

Don’t know what the motivation is behind a barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc-Gewürtztraminer blend, but whatever it is, it has resulted in a spicy, sweet wine with a soft structure and strange oak-based flavors of cinnamon and candy. Odd and questionable for the price. A novelty with only 83 cases made. — M.S. (7/1/2011)

Oliver Conti 2005 Red (Empordà)

Online Exclusive

Price $45

Disappointing given the price and how good Conti’s white wines can be. This is leafy and piercing on the nose, then heavy and super tannic and growling on the palate. Tastes leafy, herbal and earthy. — M.S. (12/15/2011)
