Bodegas Sierra Cantabria Description
Sierra Cantabria Crianza is the flagship age-classified Rioja bottling produced by the Eguren family of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Intense cherry in color with fine toasted notes (cocoa and coffee) and ripe fruit with definite expression. Powerful on the palate, smoky with well-balanced toasty notes of oak and fruit.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The creamy and lactic 2019 Crianza was produced with pure Tempranillo that achieved good ripeness (14%), keeping freshness, the character of the 2019, a drier vintage than average with some heat but not excess, and the ripeness was perfect and the grapes very healthy. This is generously oaked after 14 months in used French and American oak barrels with rackings every six months. Very approachable.
