Señorío De P. Peciña Crianza 2011, Doca Rioja Bottle
Señorío De P. Peciña Crianza 2011, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain
$21.95

Classic Rioja, but with a velvety smoothness. Spicy cherries, tobacco, smoke with hints of earthy barnyard. For a Crianza, this is incredibly impressive. Highly Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the suave texture of this Syrah/Carignan/Grenache blend. Balance and structure hold up throughout. The flavours need more time to develop, as it's little shy on fruit at the moment. But superb quality for the price.

Personally, I don't find a huge difference from the Reserva (on a good vintage year). I love the classic Rioja qualities of Montecillo...Spiced cherries, barn yard, herbs, cedar and smoke.

92 % of love in this bottle. A real Iodine body makes this drink like cough syrup. Packed with herbs and medicinal qualities. Smells like tree bark and tastes like a chocholate cake. Who wouldn't want this at their party...

A gorgeous perfumed nose of orange blossom, peaches, lemon/lime, white flowers & white musk. It's off dry adding a nice peachy-sweetness to the mix, but ample acid to balance this delicious beauty. It’s a luxurious wine that really charms & relaxes you.

Home run wine for the price! Woodsmoke, ripe cherries with hints of ash and tomato leaf. Super refined tannins and soft acids provide a lushness on the palate and on the finish. Old world wine nurds will rejoice. ...especially at this price!

Pungent nose...offering ripe peaches and pears with a fresh dose of sea salt air. The palate starts with a kiss of sweetness but quickly transitions back to a fresh ocean saltiness. I'm salivating for oysters...what a perfect little seafood gem.
