Description:
Gran Familia is about as serious and sophisticated as wine can get at this price point. Even as Rioja is just about the best bang for your buck of all the classical wine regions, the value in this bottle in particular is positively ridiculous. Leaning toward the medium-bodied side of the Tempranillo spectrum, this is a red I would recommend to those looking for something besides fruit character in their wines. That is not to say that there isn't fruit here - there's plenty of pleasant red currant and pomegranate in the nose, but a healthy dose of both French and American oak (equal parts) and fermentation to total dryness creates layers of wood, toasted coconut, toasted herbs, and a touch of balsamic. All of this is tied together by a web of authoritative yet pliable tannins totally necessary to resolve all that depth of flavor. Plainly, this is a lot of wine for the money!
