Beautiful blueberries, citrus and dark stones. The fruit here sits in the soft, essence-like zone, but the medium-firm tannins do a good job of creating some structure. Drink now.
Finca Museum Vinea Crianza Tempranillo Cigales 2016
A richly structured, modern-styled Tempranillo from high-altitude Cigales, offering depth, polish, and exceptional value.
The 2016 Vinea Crianza shows the hallmark intensity of old-vine Tempranillo grown in the plateau vineyards of Castilla y León – dark fruit, spice, and refined oak integration.
