Ramon Bilbao Crianza 2013

The finest ingredients produce the finest wines. That’s still the philosophy at Ramón Bilbao, where carefully crafted grapes are selected from the best estates and vineyards in the idyllic region of Haro in Rioja Alta since 1924. Maintaining tradition is the guiding philosophy of today’s Ramón Bilbao, where winemakers produce award-winning wines that embody a modern consumer-friendly style. Rioja Crianza must be at least 2 years old before release and is aged in oak for a minimum of 12 months. Ramón Bilbao Crianza is a high quality daily drinking wine. Crianza’s naturally high tannin makes a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red with some signs of youth in the form of violet hues. Medium intensity aromas of fresh dark fruit like blackberries and black currants accompanied with hints of licorice. It is clean and bright on the palate with pleasant flavors of vanilla, cinnamon sticks, and wild herbs.

Wine Spectator

87 points - Wine Spectator // This red shows a savory character, with toast and dried herb notes framing plum, fig, forest floor and coffee flavors. Light, firm tannins and fresh acidity keep this focused. Drink now through 2023. 50,000 cases made, 10,000 cases imported. å_åÑåÓ TM (Web only, 2018)

Wine Advocate

89 points - Wine Advocate // One of the most popular wines from Rioja has to be the 2015 Crianza from RamåÕ_n Bilbao, of which almost three million bottles are produced, and the wine sells at a very attractive price. It's a classical crianzaå_åÑåÓTempranillo aged in American oak barrels, with a classical, polished, easy-to-drink profile. I saw more fruit and less oak here, which I liked, and it is quite accessible and juicy, with fine tannins and a lively, fresh palate with some power. 2015 has a little more alcohol than previous years. -Luis GutiåÕå©rrez (February, 2018)
