Fortius 1998 Tierra de Estella Tempranillo (Navarra)

Price $12

From the Valcarlos winery, this Tempranillo has some berry aromas, earth and a bit of grain on the nose. The flavor profile deals plum, cassis and some green olive, while the finish is lean and toasty. The texture is nice, and, while it’s not terribly packed with bold flavors or extract, it gets the job done and delivers a solid expression of the grape type and region. — M.S. (8/1/2003)

Fortius 1999 Tierra de Estella Merlot (Navarra)

Price $12

Dried herbs, lots of spice and some black raspberry carry the bouquet. Fruit is front and center; the palate is all cherry and black pepper, and the finish brings more red fruit and firm tannins. It’s mostly a one-song act, meaning it’s clean, spicy and adequately fruity. — M.S. (8/1/2003)
