Solabal 2007 Crianza (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Solabal / Rioja

Mineral, dark spices, licorice and earthy cherry aromas form a solid, attractive bouquet. The palate is easygoing and chunky, but well built and structured. Flavors of toast and vanilla sit atop standard raspberry and plum, while the finish is dry and oaky, but clean and long.
