Tasting - Luis Canas Rioja Crianza

Name: Luis Canas Rioja Crianza
Variety: 95% Tempranillo, 5% Grenache
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $18.95

Winery Review: Beautiful ruby color and a clean, intense nose of wild berries with just enough lactic and spicy notes. The palate shows sweet tannins and good balance, intense and fresh. This is a crowd-pleaser and great value. - 91

My Review: This wine had a very woody, oaky aroma. This wood smell unfortunately covered the berry smells. After tasting, the spice was definitely present and it had a tannic, warm finish. Again, this wine was too dry for me.

I did not have this wine with food.
