Had great local wines in Navarre while traveling there, and this brings back good memories. Good balance, smooth and just a bit earthy. — 8 years ago

Transcendent. Massive flavors of dried dates, toffee, caramel. Just the right amount of sweetness. Insane length on the finish. World class. — 9 years ago

Navarre. A region in northern Spain bordering Basque, La Rioja and Aragon.  It’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit.  This wine brings me there.  Let me tell you about the 2010 Otazu Premium Cuvee Senorio de Otazu.  I want to break it down quickly and then opine on the wine specifically. 
VISUAL: Clear, ruby on the edges fading to dark twilight deeper in.
NOSE: Slight cherry apple without O2, after a few swirls it opens up to sweet strawberry and banana scent.  Very nice, not overpowering or too fruit forward.
PALATE: There’s oak in there, but only slight. Chocolate, barbecue, cherry, pistachio (barely). This is a wine that is sleek and sexy without being too obvious.  It’s that girl at the beach who has no idea how beautiful she is, and just wants to throw the frisbee. The wine is NOT a tease, it’s just sweet, beautiful and very cool.
FINISH: No acidity, smooth finish with just a hint of tannins. It finishes without excessive echo.
AND NOW LET ME OPINE: I love this wine. It’s a perfect example of a quality Spanish wine: 50% Can Sauv, 30% Tempranillo,   20% Merlot. It’s a fantastic wine that I could see enjoying with a spicy curry, or even just on it’s own.  Grab a bottle of this, a good frisbee disc and head out to the nearest beach for a game of Ultimate Frisbee. You will not be disappointed. My Parker Rating for this is a solid 90 points.  — 8 years ago

REALLY feeling the French/Mexican theme at Madrina in Dallas, mostly cause of the equally insane agave & brandy selections. — 8 years ago

Delicious blend of the local varietal of Spain Tempranillo with more standard conifers varietals Cab, Merlot & Syrah that shows the Navarre terroir so beautifully. Heavy flavors that quickly soften when eaten with strong cheeses, hearty roasts or tomato based soups... — 8 years ago

One of the best value ($20) wines ever, this is relatively low in alcohol, yet weighty w/ a palpable tannic after thought that doesn't overwhelm. a contemplative nose to boot! — 9 years ago
