The 2007 Crianza is 100% Tempranillo aged for 12 months in French oak. Balsam wood, Asian spices, violets, tobacco, and blackberry aromas inform the nose of this structured, surprisingly elegant offering. Nicely proportioned and lengthy, it is likely to evolve for 1-2 years and should provide enjoyment through 2019. Importer: Tom George, Frontier Wine Imports, Dover, NJ; Tel. (973) 328-4500

Chunky smelling, with herb, tomato and roasted plum aromas. Acidity is the first impression in the mouth, followed by roasted flavors and herbal/tomato accents. A standard Navarra Tempranillo that’s acidic and veers towards red and herbal. ——M.S.(10/1/2011)—— 84
