The 2017 Javier San Pedro Randez Crianza Tempranillo begins with a pleasing aroma of black cherry, a little spice, plum and just a touch of coffee.
The wine tastes really pleasant and is very easy to drink. It’s a wine meant to be drunk young and accordingly it’s quite good right now — not blow your socks off good, but really surprisingly solid for just $8.
Smooth, sweet fruit featuring a whole smorgasbord of berry flavors, nicely integrated spice and a bit of balsamic lead into the tart, dry, savory and long finish that even shows a hint of minerality.
The last time we reviewed this wine was the 2012 vintage and it is still going strong! Like we said then — at this price it’s a no brainer as a daily drinker so stock up!
