Marques de Caceres, Rioja (Spain) Crianza 2006

($14, Vineyard Brands):  This mid-weight delivers an engaging and balanced combination of bright red fruit-like flavors and winsome vanilla notes.  Suave tannins lend structure but allow for immediate enjoyment.  It’s light enough to accompany a roast chicken, but has enough stuffing to serve with a steak. 88 Michael Apstein Apr 27, 2010
