Balbas Rioja Crianza 2014 Review
Put your big kid pants on - this wine is intense! Lovers of in-your-face, dense fruit and toasty, vanilla oak flavors will swoon over this Rioja Crianza. With concentrated black cherry, baking spice, and tobacco, it has the richness, structure, and complexity of a bottle double the price. An Old World wine for New World wine lovers.
