The 2011 Arzuaga Crianza is Tempranillo with 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot aged for 16 months in a mixture of French and American oak barriques (50/50). It has an herbal, balsamic touch from the Bordeaux varieties mixed with ripe plums, black cherries and plenty of spices from the oak. The palate feels warm with round, ripe tannins and enough acidity. Drink now-2017. Arzuaga-Navarro offers a parade of very well-crafted, well-oaked commercial wines of great success. The Amaya label feels different, though. Importers: Frederic Wildman Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212)355-0700, www.fredericwildman.com and United Cellars Inc, Doral, FL; tel. (305) 591-1416
