Conde de Valdemar Rioja Crianza(2003)
Alcohol Percentage: 13.5 %

- Plump, juicy aromas of fruit. Well balanced and mild as a Tempranillo should be. The oak shows more over time but at first it was understated. Tastes like a lightly tart blackberry jam. Short mellow finish.

- One of Spain's most modern wineries, Valdemar is noted for their silky-smooth Riojas that balance ripe Tempranillo fruit with nicely toasty oak. Their Crianza is the pinnacle of their house style.

- 85% Tempranillo and 15% Mazuelo from the vineyards of Las Canteras & San QuinÃn (Alavesa) and La Gargantilla (Baja). Aged 14 months in French and American oak. This Crianza is ruby red in color with ripe fruit aromas of plum and cherry. In the mouth, it has fresh raspberry integrated with spicy oak and vanilla flavors. A great match for roasted chicken, grilled meats and various stews. Winner of the Wine Spectator Critics Choice Award three consecutive years.
