The 2009 Rojo Tempranillo displays a nose of violets, spice box, and blackberry. On the palate it reveals a solid core of spicy black fruit, good balance, and a fruit-filled finish. It, too, can be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years. Navarro Lopez’s new releases once again offer considerable value. Importer: Quintessential, Napa, CA; www.quintessentialwines.com
