The deep crimson-colored 2006 Crianza was aged for 12 months in French and American oak. The nose exhibits smoke, clove, cinnamon, violets, and blackberry leading to a medium-bodied wine with potential complexity, ripe flavors, and enough structure to blossom for another 2-3 years. This lengthy effort will provide pleasure from 2011 to 2021.
