Introduction:
The 2020 Enate Crianza is a robust and expressive red from Somontano, showcasing a harmonious blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. It delivers ripe fruit, refined spice, and a lasting finish—an elegant and powerful Spanish classic.

Terroir:
Sourced from vineyards around Salas Altas, Salas Bajas, and Barbastro in the Somontano region. The continental climate, high elevation, and limestone-rich soils produce concentrated grapes that favor structure and minerality. Estate-farmed with careful attention to sustainable viticulture.

Appearance:
Deep cherry red with a vivid, intense core and bright ruby edges—indicative of youth and bold fruit.

Nose:
Complex and inviting: ripe plum, black cherry, and subtle smoky notes interwoven with spice, vanilla, and a hint of toasted oak.

Palate:
Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavors of dark berry compote, tobacco, and mocha sail across a silky palate. The interplay of French and American oak adds toast and richness without overpowering the core fruit.

Finish:
Long and structured: lingering plum and spice fade into toasted nuances and a refined mineral thread that stays with you.

Overall Impression:
Gracefully balances power and finesse. A richly flavored Crianza with both depth and freshness—an ideal match for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. Drink now through 2027–2028.
