WINE DESCRIPTION
This red wine from Spain's legendary Rioja region is a textbook example of a classic Rioja Crianza. It is made from the Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Mazuelo grape varieties, and aged in American and French oak barrels. The nose has aromas of black berries, earthy spice, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with notes of dark fruits, earthy spice, and a touch of toasted oak. It is well-balanced with soft tannins, good acidity and a smooth, lingering finish. This delightful, well-crafted Rioja Crianza is the perfect accompaniment to a variety of dishes such as grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and cheeses.
