VAZA Crianza 2007
Tasting Notes
Made entirely of Tempranillo, the 2007 Crianza is a wine that displays cherries, red currants, light touches of plum and white pepper notes derived from oak aging. The palate is elegant and soft with rounded tannins, showing opening touches of vanilla, coconut and cinnamon. As the wine opens up, the fine, strong, fruity Tempranillo aromas, typical of the modern reds from Rioja Alavesa, are present on the palate. Aged 14 months in American and French oak barrels.
Food Affinities
Ideal for a versatile table, accompanying appetizers and entrees alike, these bright wines are delicious with seared tuna or salmon, pasta dishes, grilled sausages, chicken and pork as well as many of the exuberant flavors found in ethnic cuisine. Further affinities include roasted tomatoes, grilled vegetables and dried cherries.
