The 2009 Rojo Tempranillo (90%)/Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) is dark ruby red in color with a pleasant nose of cherry blossom, black currant, and cassis. On the palate it displays slightly higher acidity than the 2 preceding wines, attractive flavors, and moderate length. Drink this solid value over the next 2-3 years.
Navarro Lopez’s new releases once again offer considerable value.
