The 2008 Beryna has the same cepage as the Cruz Montesa but with a bit of Merlot in the mix. It was aged for 14 months in new French oak. Smoke, exotic spices, incense, and assorted black and blue fruits on a silky-smooth palate are all about pleasure. It will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2020. Bernabe Navarro owns 88 acres of vine, predominantly old-vine Monastrell. Importer: Hidalgo Imports, Miami, FL; Tel. (305) 477-7717
