CVNE Vina Real Crianza 2016

CVNE produces some of the most well-known and respected wines in Rioja. The Vina Real Crianza is a fantastic example of their craft, made with 100% Tempranillo grapes from the Rioja Alavesa subregion. It spends 12 months in American and French oak barrels before being released, and it shows off lovely aromas of ripe berries, vanilla, and spice. The palate is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with elegant tannins and a long finish.
