Bodegas Julián Chivite 2000 Señorio de Arinzano Red (Navarra)
- Cellar Selection
Rich, big and burly, this blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is juicy, with full-on black cherry, plum, soil, ink and oak flavors. The nose is somewhat closed, but with aeration reveals black pepper and vanilla nuances. Finishes with black tea, char and dry, chalky tannins. Still a baby, but so promising. Give it 5+ years. Cellar Selection.

Bodegas Julián Chivite 2001 Coleccion 125 Reserva Red (Navarra)
- Online Exclusive
A masterful mixture of Tempranillo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of wood smoke, blackberry and plum. An open wine for near-term drinking. Sweet and rich at the core, while pure cacao darkens the tail end.

Bodegas Julián Chivite 2006 Coleccion 125 Reserva Red (Navarra)
- $47
This is a dark, fully formed and impressive wine, one that’s 70% Tempranillo and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of mineral, spice, orange zest, bacon and black plum are integrated and lead to a lively palate with flavors of raspberry, plum and herbal essence. Long and spunky on the finish. Drink now–2017.

Bodegas Julián Chivite 2002 Colección 125 Vendimia Tardía Moscatel (Navarra)
- $40
The epitome of freshness and complexity is on offer in this delicious late-harvest Moscatel from Navarra’s most innovative bodega. Lemon peel, wild flowers and piercing apricot and peach aromas carry the ultra pure nose. There’s nothing funky or odd about this barrel-fermented wine; it will appeal to almost everyone who likes a well-made sweet white.

Ochoa 2010 Vino Dulce Moscatel (Navarra)
- Editors' Choice
- $28
This smells like orange marmalade. It feels smooth and creamy, but not terribly thick due to fine acidity, with flavors of orange, honey, peach and spice. Long and creamy on the finish, this is a fresh, delicious wine that should impress anyone with a sweet tooth.

Finca Albret 2007 La Viña de Mi Madre Reserva Red (Navarra)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Lush, composed and fresh on the bouquet, with blackberry and perfect prune aromas. This is mouthfilling and smooth, with a firm, flush tannic structure and flavors of coconut, lemon rind, herbal black fruit and red berry. It’s long and supple late, and it’s arguably one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons you’ll find from Spain and Navarra.

Castillo de Monjardin 2000 Deyo Merlot (Navarra)
- Best Buy
- $15
Delightfully round and pleasant, with aromas of plum, earth, pencil lead and redwood shavings. The palate is deep and developed, with a full allotment of berry fruits and sweet strawberry working the layer below. Finishes leathery and dry, but not drying. A centered, classy Merlot from Navarra.

Bodegas Julián Chivite 2004 Coleccion 125 Reserva Red (Navarra)
- $45
A forward wine with earthy aromas, leather and a hint of Navarra’s herbal essence. The palate is full-bodied and complete, with balanced weight and tannic structure. Flavors of dark berry and black plum are deep and mildly roasted, while the finish is meaty and chocolaty. Chivite Colección 125 is often Navarra’s best red wine, and that appears to be the case in 2004.
