2005 Conde de Valdemar Crianza $20.00

2005 Conde de Valdemar Crianza, one of our favorite red wines from the great Spanish region of Rioja. Made mainly of the Tempranillo grape, with a small splash of Mazuelo, the wine is rich and generous in style, with classic notes of blackberries, roasted plums, cherries, all topped off with complex notions of earth, cocoa, and baking spices. The term ‘crianza’ means that the wine received a certain amount of barrel and bottle aging before being released, and in the case of the Conde de Valdemar, that time came to more than a year in oak and six months in the bottle. The result of all that time is that the wine developed a silky texture, beautifully balanced tannins, and a long, mellow finish. Although it’s a fairly ‘serious’ wine, the great price turns it immediately into an everyday sipper, and it’s particularly well suited to the kinds of food you’d serve for the first cookout of the year: burgers, grilled sausages, ribs, and pork tenderloin.
