Another wine from the Kingdom of Navarra in Spain that does not disappoint. The 2007 Albret French Oak exhibits a whole bunch of aromas: ripe fruit, blackberry, plum, vanilla, spice, and even some floral notes. It tastes of dark fruit, with some pepper and vanilla. The finish is dry, with nice tannins, and of medium length. This is a smooth, drinkable wine with good balance and is quite nice at only $8.
