The 2004 Callejo Crianza comes from 100% Tempranillo aged 12 months in French and American oak. The wine is a saturated purple color and exhibits spice, soy, and nearly exotic wild blue and black berry aromas and flavors. The wine has a vibrant feel on the palate and there is plenty of ripe tannin to support several more years of aging. Drink this heady wine over the next 10 years. Should you see the 2003 Callejo Crianza, do not hesitate. It is nearly as good.
