2011 BODEGAS LLEIROSO “CRIANZA” RIBERA DEL DUERO

Brimming with chocolate covered cherries, smoked bacon, roasted coffee and violets, Bodegas Lleiroso’s 2011 Crianza is one of the best Crianza wines that I’ve tasted all year.  At under thirty per bottle, this Spanish beauty has already won Gold Medals at both the SF International and the Vinalies Internationales Wine Competitions… two of the largest and most respected wine judging competitions in the world.  Characterized by its seductive and mesmerizing bouquet, and a mouthfeel that’s both lush and sophisticated, this is the perfect opportunity to experience a fabulous wine from a highly respected region in Spain at an exceptional value…

With 12 months in oak barrels and another 12 months in the bottle before release, this showy Spanish Red arose from 25 – 45 year old vines nestled at 2,500 feet in elevation, and delights with its core of ripe, juicy fruit, crunchy tannins and stunning elegance.   Ribera del Duero wines perfectly fit the American palate’s love affair with big, rich, full-bodied, lush reds…  If you haven’t experienced a wine from this iconic region in Spain, this is the perfect opportunity to expand your horizons and try this world-class Red.
