Vina Real Rioja Crianza 2012
Rioja, SpainA medium-bodied, juicy, sour red and black fruit affair with soft-ish but dry tannins. A sommelier kind of wine but less likely to win over the public at large. The nose is muted but successive sips pull you into a simple, dusty, old world red with some grippy tannins. A bit of beef or pork are all you need to settle into this youthful crianza.
