WINE DESCRIPTION
Protos Crianza is a classic Spanish red from Spain's Ribera del Duero region. It is a blend of mostly Tempranillo grapes and some other indigenous varietals. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, and then spends an additional 18 months in bottle before release. The result is a well-structured, full-bodied wine with aromas of ripe berry fruits, tobacco, and spice. On the palate, there are flavors of dark plums, cherries, and espresso, with an underlying earthiness and notes of leather, toast, and sweet vanilla. With balanced acidity and tannins, this is a smooth and enjoyable wine that will pair nicely with grilled meats and hearty stews.
