Ramirez De La Piscina Spanish Red
Rioja crianza, stocked in small numbers in Commack.
The story behind Ramirez De La Piscina
Crianza is a Rioja aging term, not a brand story. A red labeled crianza has spent time in oak and then in bottle before release, and that time softens the tannin and rounds the fruit. Tempranillo leads most Rioja blends, often with Garnacha and a little Grape Mazuelo, and crianza level bottlings tend to drink with red cherry, dried fig, a touch of cedar and a savory finish.
