The 2010 La Verdosa First Wine is a blend of 50% Syrah with the balance Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot fermented and aged in stainless steel. Aromas of game, smoke, violets, incense, blueberry, and blackberry are followed by a rich, dense, savory, easygoing, pleasure-bent offering that will provide enjoyment over the next 5 years. It is an outstanding value. Bodegas Arrayan, located in the north of La Mancha in a region known as Mentrida, has turned out a pleasant Rose made from a blend of Syrah, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot fermented and aged in stainless steel.
