"This deeply hued wine offers a bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, espresso bean and clove. There is a soft savory note of dried Mediterranean herbs alongside Chambord, cherry, baking-spice and ground-coffee flavors. Vigorous tannins coat the tongue and gums and drift away into a spicy finish. - Mike DeSimone

"This is a modern style, Tempranillo led blend that includes Viura and Malvasia. Medium dark ruby in color, it reveals a fresh, bright nose. The medium weight, suave palate is bright and easy drinking with good concentration and length. Made from grapes 30 years of age on average, destemmed, and aged 12 months in French and American oak. 14.5% alc. - Don WINKLER"

"Juicy Bing cherries, peppery herbs, leather, and cedarwood notes all emerge from the 2021 Rioja Crianza, a medium-bodied, concentrated, round, layered red that has supple tannins, beautiful fruit, and a great finish. This classic Rioja has tons to love."

"Floral notes and red berry fruit combine on the nose, leading to a lifted and somewhat chalky palate. Tannins are present but soft and supportive, providing the framing for the wine. It is an elegant and pretty crianza with lots of personality and a fresh interpretation of traditional Rioja. It is also a great representation of the fresh 2021 vintage. - Beth WILLARD"
