The 2007 Crianza spent 12 months in 33% new French oak. It offers a more expressive perfume of cedar, pencil lead, mineral, violets, and black cherry. On the palate it has some elegance, savory flavors, 1-2 years of aging potential, and a fruit-filled finish. It will drink well through 2019. Importer: Antalva Imports, Los Angeles, CA; tel.
