The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a pleasant, long finish. Year after year this is a reference in the Crianzas, and a very good value. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tLuis Cañas continues to provide reliable reds but sometimes they seem to try too hard, and their more affordable wines end up coming through as better balanced than the ones at the high end of their portfolio. Beware, I believe the U.S. prices they provided are too low to be realistic.-Robert Parker's \u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate (Issue 218, April 2015), 91 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eVivid ruby. Fragrant aromas of black raspberry, rose, mocha and star anise, with slow-building peppery notes. Red and dark berry preserve and floral pastille flavors gain energy and spiciness with air and show very good clarity. Vibrant and sharply focused, gentle tannins and bright finishing lift. In an elegant style and approachable now, esepcially with a little air. \u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni's Vinous (November 2015), 91 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luis Canas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948847919151,"sku":"S0EE332017SRM","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/luis_0f3aad40-3b1d-4bc4-8adf-984161a807f8.jpg?v=1771484681","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/luis-canas-rioja-crianza-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
