A lively and impressive Viura with classic freshness and dry qualities that push it along a level plane. The nose is all apple and pear, while the palate brings kick and tasty flavors of apple and dry spice. Smooth, juicy and ripe on the finish. Drink now through 2012.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 89

Fresh, pure and minerally, with lime and peach aromas. This is a fine Viura that is lively, balanced and flavorful. The citrus and apple flavors ring true, and the mouthfeel isn’t raw or jumpy. Instead, a mineral and chalk element smooths it out, and overall it sings. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.——M.S.(10/1/2009)—— 89
