Norm’s Tasting Notes: Dos February
The North Georgia Wine Advisor
2020 Marques de Caceres Rioja Crianza
Dos February – 2025
For dinner we enjoyed Italian style Stuffed Bell Peppers with a Spanish Red Wine Favorite of ours for many years. The 2020 Marques de Caceres Crianza was on par with previous vintages and our dinner was most enjoyable!
The nose has accents of plum and blueberry, while the flavors are more reminiscent of cherries and blackberries, with a little blueberry in the background. This is a medium bodied, well rounded wine, with a lingering finish, and is a good companion for a wide variety of food. The alcohol content is 14%. and Norm’s score is 90.
Great with grilled meats and red sauced dishes, this wine is an especially good choice for Cioppino or Manhattan Clam Chowder.
score: 90
price: $15 – $19
Now, that’s just the way I see it, and you can tell them I said so!
Here’s looking at you Kid!
