Luis Cañas Crianza 2018 [Red]
Producer: Luis Cañas
Region: DOC Rioja

95% tempranillo, 5% garnacha, nurtured 12 months in oak barrels (60% French, 40% American). A Rioja Alavesa classic, always reliable.

Dark berry fruit (blueberry/blackberry), bright & fresh with a nice spicy background (vanilla/cinnamon) and a hint of smoke, dry leaves & chocolate.
Rich and sweet, well ripened fruit enhanced by crisp acidity. Smooth, easy to drink with a pleasant, lasting finish. Very good.

An excellent example of what Rioja's all about. Well priced & cellar worthy.
