VinArte 2002 Villa Zorilor Prince Matei Gran Riserva Merlot (Dealu Mare)
- $100
An elegant, memorable wine with balance and poise. The nose offers red berry, warming spice and a touch of smoke, while on the palate, smooth, dark berry and spice flavors are harmonious and rich. The wine can age but is good now. Pair with a succulent duck dish or pate and cheeses.

VinArte 2001 Villa Zorilor Red Paradox Merlot (Dealu Mare)
- $20
Appealing aromas of berry and pepper spice lead this likeable Merlot from Romania. Integrated but somewhat simple, the wine nontheless has an overall elegant character and tannins with enough chew to temper aging. An interesting choice from an emerging (to the U.S.) wine region.

VinArte 1998 Sangiovese (Chianti)
- Best Buy
- $7
The juicy berry fruit on the nose carries a green herb element. While smooth in texture, the black cherry flavors of the palate seem a touch sharp and underripe. A touch of leather and caramel picks up the finish.

VinArte 2001 Villa Zorilor Lady Gabriela Private Reserve Merlot (Dealu Mare)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A soft, integrated nose of red berry, spice and some smoke leads on this Merlot from Romania. The berry and spice flavors are slightly angular with a sweet, wooded finish, and the tannins pronounced. A mildly rustic Merlot that could use some aging or a good piece of meat to temper the edge.

VinArte 2004 Villa Zorilor Assolato Merlot (Dealu Mare)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Cigar, mocha and gamy spice start this Merlot from Romania, and on the palate, it’s slightly spiky and needs more integration. Overall, though, warming spices and appealing fruit flavors save the day.
