Ramirez de la Piscina Crianza 2019

The 2019 Crianza is 100% Tempranillo sourced from San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Ábalos, Rioja Alta. Aged for 14 months in used American and French barrels (50/50), this purple wine showcases aromas of blackberry and blueberry, with hints of vanilla and coconut against an oak backdrop. Dry and juicy, the grippy palate lingers with a chalky texture, presenting a balanced expression of Rioja. Drinking window: 2024-2034. (Joaquín Hidalgo,vinous.com,April 18, 2024)
