Initially spicy and peppery with dark cherries and a twist of iron. Medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Drink now or hold.

Made from 100% Tempranillo, the 2021 Crianza is a well-made, dry, easygoing wine from a great vintage. Soft, supple red fruit, balsamic, and leather accent a medium-bodied expression of moderate length, body weight, and acidity, held in French and American barrel for 14 months, bottle for at least eight. Continue enjoying through 2036.

Rich aromatics and a fruit forward palate make for a succulent Tempranillo. Blue and black fruits, spices and chocolate swirl nose through finish carried on a frame of sinewy tannins. Classic while crowd pleasing Rioja.
