Luis Caņas Crianza 2016 [Red]
Producer: Bodegas Luis Caņas
Region: DOC Rioja

95% tempranillo, 5% garnacha, aged one year in used oak barrels (60% French, 40% American), average age of the vines: 30 years. A benchmark "crianza" from the Rioja Alavesa sub-region.

A lot going on here: blueberries & cherries, licorice, hay & autumn leaves, gently spiced with nicely integrated wood elements (cedar, smoke, nutmeg, cinnamon). Plums & blackberries show up on the palate, with balanced acidity, smooth tannins and a lasting follow through. Excellent wine, a pleasure to drink, great value.

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...
