Tasting - El Coto Crianza


Name - El Coto Crianza
Variety - Tempranillo
Region - Rioja
Country - Spain
Year - 2008
Price - $11

Wine Enthusiast Review - Straightforward cherry and raspberry aromas carry a floral accent. It feels zesty and tight with plum, herb and tomato flavors, with a finish that shows a vanilla note. A fresh, simple wine at every turn. 


My Review - I tasted this at a Wegman's so it was not in proper wine glasses. This exercise made it very clear how important the vessel is for tasting. These were taken out of small plastic cups, almost like shot glasses making it much harder to get a scent. This wine has a fruity scent. It was light on the palette and also a bit tangy. This was not my favorite from the tastings of the day. Probably wouldn't purchase it.
 

I tasted this on its own with no food.
