Viña Amézola Crianza

winery2Gabriella

  • 2005 Viña Amézola Crianza – Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alavesa, Rioja (6/22/2009) Dark boysenberry and bramble bush on the nose with a light dusting of vanilla and chocolate. In the mouth, the wine shows good acidity throughout, with subtle tannins and a light body. Overall a very straightforward wine, expressing more fruit than thought provoking flavor, but ideal if you’re craving a wine to pair with light summer cuisine! 3.5/5

  • Viña Amézola Crianza 2005 – Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alavesa, Rioja (6/22/2008)Dusty nose on this wine, full of rich cherry notes, slate, and touches of cinnamon/chocolate. Full in the mouth with a bright acidity and fine smooth tannins. Cherry persists with hints of dusty cinnamon. Gentle and soft Crianza Rioja at it’s best. Perfect with lighter grilled meats. 4/5
