2018 Marques de Caceres Rioja Crianza
#27-2023


The wines from Rioja Spain have been a longtime favorite of mine, and the 2018 vintage from Marques de Caceres is a great example of how good the Tempranillo grape can be in a dinner wine.

The nose is the essence of plum and blueberry, with a flavor spectrum ranging from plum to blackberry, with a background of cassis.  There is a lingering finish which compliments a wide range of foods  The alcohol content is 13.5% and Norm's score is 91.  This one definitely, "begs for another sip"!

Great with grilled meats and stews, we enjoyed our sample with beef kabobs, hot off of the grill!

score: 91
price : $12 - $17
