Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2008 Crianza is aged for 12 months in 70% American and 30% French oak. It has a rounded, sensual bouquet with leather and burnt toast infusing the red fruit profile. The palate is medium-bodied with an earthy entry. There is a dash of white pepper and supple tannins towards the finish, with Provencal herbs and cloves lingering on the aftertaste. Drink now-2017.

Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.
Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
