Harmonious on the nose and palate with ripe black plums and cassis enveloped by a layer of char and smoke. Medium to full bodied with structured acidity, it’s a straightforward but sound Merlot with powdery, soft tannins and a tasty black cherry and graham cracker finish.

Vini 2006 Veni Vidi Vici Merlot (Thracian Valley)
- Best Buy

Soft blackberry, cinnamon and pepper aromas lead flavors of juicy berry and savory spice in this Merlot from Bulgaria. Good tannins and structure give the wine ageability, which will also temper its oaky character. Overall, an impressive effort from an emerging region.

Vini 2008 Veni Vidi Vici Cabernet Sauvignon (Thracian Valley)
- Best Buy
- $8
Herbaceous notes of dill and green wood converge with ripe, sweet plum and spice aromas on this medium-bodied, bargain Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon. Although initially soft with notes of sweet blackberry, it gains earthiness in the midpalate. Firm tannins offer structure, but the vanilla finish drops a bit abruptly.

Although this may not come across like a Merlot, it still offers great value. Plenty of vanilla mixes with deep berry and spice aromas, while the dark, extracted mouth offers a lush feel with good tannin matched with black berry and white pepper.

Vini 2009 Veni Vidi Vici Sauvignon Blanc (Thracian Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $8
The nose on this Bulgarian Sauvignon Blanc opens with white flowers and honey, but devolves rapidly to scents of musk and feline spray. Dry, with brisk acidity, there’s some refreshing lemon zest and melon rind flavors on the palate. The viscosity of this medium-bodied wine is pleasant, but the finish ends on a dusty note.

Vini 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Thracian Valley)
- Best Buy
- $8
Oak plays a large role in this wine, with plenty of vanilla flavor and aroma intermixed with hung meat and pepper spice. This wine has a dark feel, with big tannins, but it still manages to be round in the mouth, with a peppery, tannic finish.
— M.D.
