Convento Oreja Crianza 2007 [Red]
Producer: Convento de reja
Region: DO Ribera del Duero

In general, the 2007 vintage has shown well; and this wine is no exception. Convento de Oreja is a small, family operation and uses only Tempranillo grapes grown on small plots in the PeƱafiel area. A nice wine and an excellent value.

Bright cherry red color, a little bit closed at the start; but opens nicely with a bit of aeration. Smoke, dried grass and blueberry aromas predominate on the nose. The palate's fresh and fruity (cherry/blueberry) with clean, lively tannins. The finish is almost sweet with good balance between tannins and fruit. Very good.

A note to our readers:
I've used SRP, which is the normal price in Spain expressed in US dollars [Low=$5-9, Medium=$10-18, High=$19+]. The wines selected are usually moderately priced and generally exported around the world. Some exceptions happen...
