Country: Spain / Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Solabal / Rioja
Dry and smooth, with balsam and cedar aromas wrapped around controlled fruit scents and toast. The wine is ripe and balanced, with hickory flavors adding a barbecued angle to the steady palate. Firm, structured and tasting of clove and woodspice on the finish. Drink now through 2011.
