2021 Alexander Vineyards Crianza
Crianza is made with 100% Tempranillo grapes that have been selected from a 30-40 year old vineyard. After fermentation, this wine is aged on an 80% French / 20% American oak blend for 12 months. It then spends 9 months in bottle, giving it a bright maroon color and complex minerality, wild red berry, and toasted wood on the nose. This wine has nice tannins and a long finish, leaving a lasting impression of red fruit.
Tasting notes
Mineral notes, a hint of forest, wood, vanilla and licorice. Long finish with toasted notes and red fruits. Pair with grilled meats, roasts and stews.
