The 2012 Crianza contains some 15% Garnacha and 5% Mazuelo to complement the Tempranillo grapes that fermented in stainless steel and then matured in American oak barrels for one year. It's a textbook modern Crianza, quite balanced with wild berries and spices, plenty of oak-related aromas and a nice palate with some tannins and good acidity. Easy to drink. An impressive 780,000 bottles were produced of this wine.

Focused and fresh, this red offers a juicy core of black cherry and plum, with smoky licorice and mineral accents. Light, firm tannins and crisp acidity provide structure before giving way to the floral, smoky finish. Drink now through 2022. 65,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
