Bodegas Olarra Anares Crianza 2010

Aged in oak for six months, this Rioja red is a nicely restrained wine, with blackberry and spice elements. framed by soft tannins. Like so many young reds, it profits immensely from a good airing. It should get even better with some age on it. At $11.99 it's not cheap, but if you want to give yourself a treat, certainly worth the money.
