May 4, 2011 - A blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha and 5% Graciano and Mazuelo all sourced from Rioja Alta. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged 14 months in American barrique. Medium ruby core with a faded rim and medium legs. Clean nose, medium + intensity, developing aromas of dried cherry, cranberry, spice box, sweet tobacco and leather. Dry, medium + acidity, medium bodied, medium alcohol (13.5% abv), just slightly ripe tight medium tannins, medium intensity, more dried red spicy fruit, dried jerky and herbs, sweet spice and brown sugar notes on the medium finish. This is a classic crianza Rioja from a old traditional producer. Compelling aromatics, integrated oak and well balanced play between the acid, fruit and earthiness. At $16 US retail I consider this a great value and must buy if you like old school Rioja's.
