The 2010 Albarroble Crianza is Garnacha blended with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that is aged in two-to five-year-old French and American oak. The bouquet has a touch of dried blood and cooked meat on the nose – quite lush and open-knit. The palate shows a touch of hardness on the entry, but there is plenty of spicy fruit on the structured finish, whereby the Cabernet component imparts decent backbone and length. This is a fine Almansa red. Drink now-2015. Importer: Votto Vines Importing, www.vottovines.com
