The 2005 Mas d’Aranyo Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Carinena aged in French and American oak for 13 months. Spice box, cedar, black cherry and blackberry aromas inform the nose of this round, savory effort. In the glass it reveals good depth and concentration, but not much in the way of complexity. It is meant for drinking over the next 4-5 years. Segura Viudas is a label owned by Cava giant Freixenet whose base of operations is in Penedes. Importer: Freixenet USA; www.freixenetusa.com

Aromas of balsam wood, leather, earth and mature berry come with a pinch of lemon. The palate is crisp and tight, with baked berry flavors followed by a wave of buttery oak and vanilla. That oak persists onto the finish, which is drying and hints at elegance. Drink now. ——M.S.(10/1/2011)—— 87
