A good effort from a troublesome vintage, the dark plum-colored 1997 Crianza exhibits earth, cedar, spice box, and black cherry aromas as well as flavors. While not complex, it is soft, round, and best consumed over the next 2-3 years. It is medium-bodied and made in an elegant style.Importer: De Maison Selections, Chapel Hill, NC; tel. (919) 933-4245
