Critic Review: Very classic, traditional styling, with a terrific balance between
mouthwatering berry fruit and damp forest floor nuances. Traditional
Rioja, with its Burgundian characteristics and slightly plumper fruit
profile, works wonders with food. Simply put, the 2006 Viña Santurnia
Crianza Rioja is pure deliciousness! In all seriousness, this property,
located a mere 3 kilometers from Muga over in the Rioja Alavesa, really
over-delivers when it comes to consistently making wonderful Crianza,
with impeccable balance and typicity, for an incredibly fair price. This
wine is produced in comparably tiny quantities for Rioja, 5,000 cases,
all the more reason to join the many customers who have purchased past
vintages of this terrific, satisfying wine in case quantities.
My Review: This wine smelled lie oak and somewhat sweet. It tasted sharp and bitter. It was a little off balance, I could detect a fair amount of heat. I did not try this wine with food.
