Terra Romana 2007 Cuvée Charlotte Red (Dealu Mare)
- $18
The nose on this Romanian blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Feteasca Neagra is dark and smoky with charred oak, coffee and tobacco melding into an herbaceous, woody backdrop. Juicy black plums and cherries are offset by strong grape and wood tannins and notes of cigar smoke and black pepper on the palate. It’s fine now, but a year or two in the cellar might…

Terra Romana 2006 Milenium Alb White (Dealu Mare)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Citrus and cream on the nose and palate offer unfolding character in this exotic white from Transylvania. Spices keep the wine lively on the tongue. Rich but balanced.

Terra Romana 2003 Muscat Ottonel Muskat Ottonel (Tarnave)
- $10
This Muscat is best served with mildly spicy Asian dishes, where its floral, off-dry flavors will offset some chili heat, while the refreshing acids on the finish will clean the palate. Lychee, melon and tangerine flavors add exotic notes.

Terra Romana 2009 Chardonnay (Dealu Mare)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Warm, toasty aromas with notes of coconut and dill, along with some honey and applesauce are pleasant on this dry Chardonnay from Romania. Unfortunately, the raw, aggressive acidity makes this wine lack balance and harmony, interfering with flavors of fresh apples, lemon and cream.

Terra Romana 2006 Cuvée Charlotte Red (Dealu Mare)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
This intriguing red begins with cinnamon, leather and pepper aromas, followed by a nice balance of warming spices and rich red fruit. Good complexity with tannins that allow for some aging. Pair with grilled meats, robust cheeses.

Terra Romana 2002 Cuvee Charlotte Red (Dealu Mare)
- $20
Ambitiously structured, with robust tannins and stern acids, but the fruit doesn’t quite measure up, yielding modest berry and earth flavors. Drink soon with hearty meat dishes, before the fruit fades.

Terra Romana 2008 Feteasca Neagra (Dealu Mare)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
While pleasant on the nose and palate with loads of ripe red cherries, dried herbs and a hint of coffee grinds, jagged, chunky tannins and a hot finish make this full bodied Romanian wine a bit unbalanced.

Terra Romana 2007 Pinot Noir (Dealu Mare)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
This wine starts with a slightly confected cherry nose, leading into delicate bordering on thin flavors of red fruit and cherry. A very soft wine for fans of light, easygoing reds.
