Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Crianza is made up of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Mazuelo aged for 15 months in French and American oak. The aromatics are slightly reticent but in the glass it opens to reveal savory flavors of black cherry, cinnamon, and clove. The tannins are ripe and the finish seamless. Drink this excellent value through 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.
