Flavor Profile
Want a reliable tip for value and flavor? Head to Spain’s famous Rioja region. And if you’re really looking for something special, check out this boutique discovery, from Parker-praised wine whiz, Jean-Marc Sauboua.
Jean-Marc sourced the grapes from an old patch of premium Tempranillo vines (planted 40+ years ago). In the cellar, he aged the wine for 14 months in fine French oak barrels. And this elegant Crianza has debuted to serious fanfare. It boasts a slew major awards, including 92 points from Master of Wine Tim Atkin and a gold medal from Mundial de Tempranillo. In other words, this one’s guaranteed to make a great impression on your dinner guests.
Crianza, by the way, is the juicy, vibrant style you’re most likely to see a local Riojan enjoying with their own dinner. Try grilled lamb, roasted pork, or a Spanish-inspired stew with chorizo, roasted red peppers, and garlic.
Jean-Marc prefers to make his wines in small batches – the mark of a quality-conscious winemaker. Order quickly to ensure you get to taste this special release.
