Rioja: Marqués de Zearra Crianza 2017

We know it\'s across the Pyrenees from our usual patch, but we couldn\'t resist buying this crackerjack red Rioja that practically drinks itself! Made completely from Tempranillo from vineyards in Rioja Alta and Rioja Altavesa, it sees time in American oak which brings coffee, vanilla and cedar to the Tempranillo fruit. . A ripe, textbook example of Rioja with coffee aromas and creamy chocolate flavours. 100% Tempranillo from a small bodega in Fuenmajor, it has at least 18 months in barrel and more than 6 months in bottle prior to release, illustrating the great value to be found in La Rioja.
