The 2003 Alzania 21 Del 10, a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Syrah, is a modern-styled effort. Medium dark ruby in color, the wine offers up an expressive nose of currants, meat, and wood smoke. The layered fruit is still primary and the finish slightly hard but another 4-6 years of age should round things out. Importer: Vinamericas Selections LLC, Miami Beach, FL; Fax (866) 229-3031

Toast and vanilla oak notes frame sweet blackberry fruit in this modern red. A bit candied, but plush and appealing. Drink now through 2008. 550 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Navarra Select to Add
