Javier Ochoa Crianza 2014 Review

The Crianza designation for Spain should call to mind easy drinking with depth and balance. That is exactly what you get here for under $20. On the nose ripe plum and sour cherry aromas play with a hint of balsamic, which is mirrored on the broad, slightly tannic palate with some earthy tones entering stage left. This is a bottle to have on hand for one of those sporadic get together's; it is a great wine to share with friends.
