  Ruby, super clean colour. nose: balanced, pleasant. Strawberries, red plums; soft sweet spice; very good. State: medium (+) acidity; black cherries, red and black plums, blueberries. Soft tannins - small grains. good quality. medium (+) spicy finish (nutmeg, cinnamon). Mainstream - but well done.

  I did not like. This wine had no depth, no finish, even for it's category.

  Retail $12. 100% Tempranillo. Responsible bottle. Under agglomerated stopper. I really should drink more Rioja but I am a bit afraid. While I have had many fantastic wines from Spain's most well-known region, I also have had a few stinkers. And other than price, I really have not figured out how to manage that minefield other than by trial and error. Enter this El Coto Crianza. While no one would confuse this with a top wine from the region, at $12, the "investment" is minimal and the reward? Close to substantial. Good fruit, nice acidity, a balanced quaffable wine that requires little introspection and serves as a wonderful accompaniment to my meatloaf and, a little later, a bit of popcorn and a Netflix movie. Sure, this wine will not change my life, but it did move my Wednesday night from "mundane" to "memorable" (almost).
