Acclaim
“The 2012 Crianza is easy and polished, with a clean nose where I see more red fruit than black and a subtle layer of spices. The palate is soft, with unnoticeable tannins and a very tasty finish. Textbook Rioja.”
— Wine Advocate, Aug 2016
“Firm and focused, this red shows a savory side, with smoke and tar notes framing black cherry and licorice flavors. Lively acidity keeps it fresh.”
— Wine Spectator, Mar 2016
