The 2007 Crianza was aged in seasoned French and American oak for 15 months before bottling without filtration. Smoke, leather, cinnamon, incense, and blackberry are some of the elements jumping from the glass of this smooth-textured, generously stuffed, savory offering. Excellent volume and length suggest that this exceptional value will provide enjoyment through 2019. Importer:Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; Tel. (781) 461-5767

This chewy red has firm tannins and toasty, smoky oak flavors, which overshadow modest black cherry and blackberry notes. A leafy note keeps the finish fresh. Drink now through 2013. 3,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
