Oak-spiced cherry and blackberry aromas and flavors are complemented by a suggestion of mocha that gains strength as the wine opens up. Plush and seamless in style and showing no rough edges. Rich yet lively; a peppery note adds a spicy kick on the back half. Gentle tannins shape the impressively persistent finish, which leaves a hint of bitter chocolate behind. - Josh Raynolds\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (May 2017), 91 pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luis Canas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948943798319,"sku":"S0EE344004SRM","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/amaren_crianza_label.jpg?v=1771485603","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/amaren-rioja-crianza-2013","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
