The 2010 Crianca is a 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a clear herbaceous character, but keeping the Mediterranean profile in the shape of rosemary and thyme notes. The fruit is ripe, a mixture of red and black berries and the palate is medium-bodied with dusty tannins that coat the mouth and call for some food. Drink now-2015.
