Siglo Saco Crianza 2009
Rioja, Spain
Established in 1881, the win-
ery is in Fuenmayor, Rioja Alta,
with generations of winemaking
tradition. Great grandson of the
founders, head winemaker Javier
Garcia, said "Siglo Saco is the
winery's symbol across the world.
It is aged until it attains a fine
array of aromas mingling with
the so nuances of barrel ageing.
e wine stays in American oak
barrels for a year before being
bottled. It is then aged for at least
another six months in our cellars."
Made with three grape variet-
ies: Tempranillo gives fruity aromas
of berries and vanilla, Manuela,
otherwise known as Carignan, gives
body, spiciness and depth of color,
and low-yielding Graciano gives you
structure and intense aromatics.
Tasting note: Bright, garnet
red with purple and gold glints.
Fruity with a toasted wood and
vanilla aroma acquired during
cask ageing. In the mouth it is
full, elegant and velvety smooth,
with good body. Perfect served
with lamb or beef, especially on
the barbecue.
Our wine and beer selections are cour-
tesy of Jeff Button at
Off the Vine, 3090 Vineville Ave.
