An Underrated Rioja? I recently read that this wine was underrated. While I can’t say for certain, I agree with that sentiment? At least not by me. How about that? If you haven’t tried this one, you should. This wine is clear. This wine is garnet. This wine is earth. This wine is dark fruits, black cherries, and spice (everything nice). This wine is dry tannins from thick-skinned grapes. This wine is Tempranillo grapes. This wine is Old World European wine. This wine is oak barrels, French, and American. This wine is Crianza, meaning aged for a specific time usually about twelve months. This wine is younger. This wine is everyday wine in a bucket glass wine. This wine is superb. This wine has an exquisite mouth feel is approachable and just damn good. This wine is a little bit of Spain in a bottle. This wine is Marqués de Cáceres Rioja Crianza 2018. This wine is. This wine is excellent with or without food. This wine pairs well with baguettes with and jams, raw purple onions, French onion soups, cheese and charcuterie boards, burgers, sweet and sour cabbage dishes, marinade and flash fried tofu garnished with scallions (onions again), pizzas, and pastas. This wine also pairs well with chalky chocolate ice cream or cherry clafoutis. This wine is available at Whole Foods Market. This wine retails for about $16-$25 USA dollars a bottle. Buy a case. Store it properly. Drink now. Recommended drinking temperature is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Bar Chef Sommelier notes: wine title missing accent indications from some posts, sorry to the wine. Where can you buy the goods? You know, a similar bucket glass (like the one from Anthropologie on South Beverly Drive around 2019 ish since closed), wine glasses (if that’s your preference), a corkscrew, and other items at Blonde Behind the Bucket Storefront of course.
