Deep Ruby color with aromas of fruit and spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry with notes of vanilla and pepper spice. Fine tannins, medium finish, good acidity ending with fruit and spice. Drink now. Good value! — 3 years ago

Nose: cherries, plums, mushrooms, licorice, wet wool
Taste: big soy sauce with sour cherries and under-ripe strawberries
The first time I had this, it had aged for about 9 years and the tannins were huge - after aging for 15 years, the tannins have mellowed and opened up a very (VERY) subtle sweetness which complements the umami profile really well. — 4 months ago

Valserrano – Tempranillo & Graciano – 2020
Rioja Alavesa DOCa – Spain 🇪🇸

Overview
A Crianza-level Rioja built for approachability, freshness, and everyday enjoyment. Predominantly Tempranillo with a touch of Graciano, aged briefly in oak to soften the edges while preserving fruit purity.

Aromas & Flavors
Red cherry, raspberry, and plum with hints of licorice, vanilla, and subtle spice. Light herbal notes and soft oak support without dominating.

Mouthfeel
Medium-light body, juicy and vibrant with mild tannins and easy-going acidity. Friendly texture that drinks effortlessly, even slightly chilled.

Food Pairings
Tapas, grilled chicken, burgers, pizza, or chorizo, anything casual and flavorful.

Verdict
An easy-drinking, fruit-forward Rioja that embraces the modern, relaxed side of Rioja Alavesa. Fun, refreshing, and crowd-pleasing without trying too hard.

Did You Know?
Crianza wines are Spain’s most versatile category, requiring a minimum of 2 years of aging with at least 1 year in oak, striking the sweet spot between young fruit and gentle structure. — 6 months ago

Este Tempranillo empieza con cereza roja ligeramente deshidratada, con notas de tabaco y tostados, sutiles notas de eneldo y hierbas secas, y pequeñas notas florales en el fondo. Afrutado y picante en el paladar, con algunas ligeras notas cítricas, de pomelo junto a frutos rojos, con gran longitud y fina acidez.

COLOR:
Color rojo picota brillante, con irisaciones azuladas. De capa alta.

AROMAS:
Intenso y complejo. Aromas de fruta roja acompañados de notas dulces y de pastelería. Aparecen notas de tofe y caramelo de fresa con nata.

GUSTO:
El vino Montecillo Crianza tiene una entrada agradable, en la que aparece mucha fruta roja que nos recuerda al Tempranillo, acompañada de una equilibrada acidez y cuerpo de la Garnacha. Un tanino pulido y bien integrado con las notas afrutadas. Un vino placentero, largo y que deja huella. — a year ago
