Marqués de Riscal Reserva

LAN Crianza

Montecillo Crianza

An easy-drinking wine with a fresh palate, LAN Crianza is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes. When the bottle’s first uncorked, intense flo ral aromas emerge. But as the wine opens up, notes of berries, vanilla, cin namon, and licorice take over, allowing the bright acidity and silky tannins to be savoured. LCBO #166538 | $18.95

This distinguished Rioja—one of the region’s most recognizable—promises impeccable balance, highlighting the harmony of terroir, fruit, and oak. Its layers of complexity are best revealed alongside hearty dishes that can stand up to its notes of sandalwood, straw berry preserve, and black olive notes. LCBO #976662 | $31.95

This special-occasion wine is as in tense as it is polished. A velvety black cherry colour gives way to expressive aromas of licorice, cinnamon, and black pepper as a long, persistent finish leaves a slight suggestion of balsamic vinegar. Serve to treasured guests for an elevated experience. LCBO #32656 | $29.60

Bright cherry-coloured in the glass, this red-fruit forward wine also en tices with sweet notes of toffee and caramel. Montecillo Rioja DOCa Cri anza is smooth on the palate, dancing between ripe, round fruit and crisp acidity. Pair this long, elegant-finishing wine with charcuterie or Mediterra nean dishes.
