Bodegas Benito Urbina, Rioja Crianza 2015 Gin and terrific fine grained tanninsThis is a silky, polished mid weight Rioja aged in American oak in the traditional way. Light red fruit, strawberry flavours with soft spicy notes from oak ageing and very gentle tannins make it a good match for quite delicate dishes. It will work well with a roast chicken and even with a gutsy fish roast in the oven.
