Opening the range of blended wines and produced with 50% Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Syrah, the 2010 Crianza is the winery's flagship wine with 240,000 bottles produced. This is also a blend of different plots. The wine aged in a mixture of French and American oak barrels for about 14 months. A common character of these blended wines is marked balsamic aromas and good acidity, something the winemaker looks for in the blends. It has the combination of Atlantic and Mediterranean characters, which sometimes can render the wine a little anonymous. The balsam is intermixed with licorice and aniseed notes and the palate reveals abundant, dusty tannins and moderate acidity, which makes me think this wine should be kept for one more year in bottle to polish those edges.
