Like many Navarran wines, this Garnacha-Tempranillo blend offers equal parts earthy spice and dry fruit. Aromas of spearmint, leather and wood spice bump up against crisp, wiry red-fruit notes, and the palate holds that line. If you want a restrained, balanced, more traditonal Spanish wine to drink with food, this is a good bet. ——M.S.(2/1/2009)—— 86
