The 2005 Arrocal is 100% Tempranillo aged 4 months in a mixture of new and used French and American oak. Purple-colored, it offers up fragrant aromas of cedar, spice box, blueberry, and blackberry. Supple-textured, the wine has gobs of sweet fruit, soft tannins, and excellent balance. Drink this outstanding value over the next 3-5 years.

On the verge of heavy, but good in a stocky, straightforward way. Blackberry and chocolate lead, and the body leans toward weighty but doesn’t go entirely heavy. A good, fuller-bodied selection with toast and tannin on the back end.——M.S.(6/1/2007)—— 87
