Sierra Cantabria 2011 Crianza (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Sierra Cantabria / Rioja

Inky, earthy berry aromas come with a hint of animal. This feels grabby but solid, with firm tannins. Standard plum and berry aromas are the slightest bit stalky, while flavors of roasted black fruits and coffee are bolstered by hard tannins on the finish.
