title: Raiza 2009 Crianza  (Rioja)
description: On first take, the bouquet is hampered by reduced aromas of iodine and the palate feels hard, tight and racy. With airing, this shows better. Flavors of blackberry and plum come to life and finish well, and as a whole, this is good in a pedestrian, regular way.
variety: Tempranillo
designation: Crianza
