Marqués de Cáceres Crianza 1999 [Red]
Producer: Unión Viti-Viní­cola
Region: DOC Rioja

As the holidays approach, a good food-friendly red like this one is worth having. Despite the winery's rather large production numbers, Marqués de Cáceres is consistently reliable year after year; and this 1999 crianza is certainly no exception. Good with a wide range of food from grilled chops to roast turkey.

Nice dark garnet red color. Well defined aromas of ripe red berry fruit with a nice spicy/honey scent. Medium bodied palate, easy drinking and very tasty with good acidity and balance. Very good and an excellent value.
