2022 | Bodegas Muga 'El Anden de la Estacion' Crianza | Rioja Chateau La Croix du Casse This should be approachable afterCask aged for 14 months, the 2022 El Anden De La Estacion is a youthful, approachable blend of 65% Tempranillo and 35% Garnacha, the first one made in 2016. Fermented using indigenous yeast, its left on the lees to soften the texture and accentuate the red and black cherry and berry fruit. Its quite delightful and impressively well made for the price point, full bodied but balanced. 92 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
