  Dusty, jumbled aromas of prune, raisin, sugar beet and leather are disparate. Chunky and flabby in feel, this tastes of oak, tomato and stewed berries. A flat finish fails to bring it around.

  Spicy, medicinal cherry, tomato and herb aromas lead to a palate with rubbery tannins and moderate astringency. A fresh and tasty mix of spicy, rooty berry flavors ends with brushy, herbal, chocolaty notes on the finish.

• 201488 pts

  Aromas of Christmas spice, black cherry and latex feed into a fresh, juicy palate with sharp acidity. Pie cherry and red plum flavors finish raw in feel and peppery in flavor. This is all about chop, chop, chop.

  Barda is a particular wine with proprietary aromas of light cranberry, pickle brine, dried leaf and especially tomato. A light palate with mild yet rubbery tannins sets up fresh, earthy, briny flavors that end smooth, with salty, herbal aftershocks.

  A rusty, translucent color announces a light body. Along the way, aromas of compost and leaves, red fruits and earth don't stir much interest. Meanwhile, light oak and stalky red-fruit flavors finish leafy.

  Smoky cherry and earth aromas are the opening salvo on this bullish yet well-made wine. Expect a full mouthfeel that wraps itself around toasty, creamy flavors of chocolaty plum and spiced tea. Barda excels on its lively finish, which is long, properly acidic and spicy tasting.

  An elegant, floral Pinot Noir from Patagonia's top producer of PN. Barda is warm, creamy and intense. An emphasis on balanced raspberry and cherry flavors mixed with rose hip and freshness gives it an Old World personality. A very drinkable and honest style of red wine. Good now…
