Dusty and dry smelling, with apple and lettuce on the nose. Flavors of green apple are glazed with spice and cinnamon, while the finish leans on papaya and pretty good mouthfeel and texture. Very basic but solid. Drink now.——M.S.(4/1/2009)—— 85

Bland as they come, with tangy white fruit and green veggies doctoring up the palate. Try as you may, there’s just nothing much to latch on to. Imported by W.J. Deutsch & Sons.——M.S.(11/1/2007)—— 80

Creamy vanilla and apple aromas are not upheld on the poorly defined, watery palate. All you get in terms of flavor is citrus peel and some mineral. Not offensive or aggressive; but it leaves you bored. Imported by W.J. Deutsch & Sons.——M.S.(2/1/2007)—— 82

This basic Viura has a waxy nose with hints of mineral and banana. The palate deals tart apple and lemon juice, while the finish is tight and sharp. Needs salty, basics to pump it up, something like green olives. ——M.S.(9/1/2004)—— 84
