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 earned serious fanfare over the years. The 2018 release alone sports four international gold medals. In other words, this it’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. Start the evening with a charcuterie plate, then 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.
