Sierra Cantabria Crianza, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2019 Colchagua Valley The texture becomes velvetThe creamy and lactic 2019 Crianza was produced with pure Tempranillo that achieved good ripeness (14%), keeping freshness, the character of the 2019, a drier vintage than average with some heat but not excess, and the ripeness was perfect and the grapes very healthy. This is generously oaked after 14 months in used French and American oak barrels with rackings every six months. Very approachable. 91 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
