NV Harveys, Fino Light Sherry, Jerez Superior, Spain, $15. Bright almond and flor notes carry from the nose to the mouth. Dry and nutty, the finish seems endless here. Think traditional tapas; 88/90.
NV Harveys, Reserve Sherry, Jerez Superior, Spain, $15. Composed of 80 percent Palomino and 20 percent Ximénez, this Sherry is a blend of 30 soleras. Amber in color, the wine smells like a dried-fruit basket sprinkled with brown sugar and spice. It’s sweet, rich and complex, with hazelnuts dominating the palate; 87/90.
NV Harveys, Orange, Jerez, Spain, $15. Dark-honey colored with a nose reminiscent of orange slice candy, brown sugar and nuts, which also reflects on the palate. I’m not much of one for infused wines, but I like this one. It will pair nicely with lemon pound cake; 87/90.
