Leafy smelling, which is par for the course for Navarran Tempranillo. Amid that patented herbacity you’ll find good body and earthy flavors of roast tomato and plum as well as green herbs. Finishes slightly pickled and leafy; green but not outright vegetal.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 84

A little herbal and minty on the nose, but at this price one can’t complain too mightily. The palate smacks down with bite and acidity, while the flavors run herbal and a little stemmy, with caramel as a backdrop. Roasted and herbal but not offensive, especially at $7 a bottle.——M.S.(8/1/2010)—— 84

No tasting note was given.

A mixed bag of red-fruit aromas are brought down by a hint of sour pickle, yet the palate is uplifting as it delivers nothing but snappy red-cherry flavors. Grippy and scouring courtesy of live-wire tannins and acidity, but there's enough weight and sweetness to ensure balance. A good tapas wine.——M.S.(2/1/2007)—— 85
