Conde de Valdemar Rioja Crianza 1999 (Spain)

Price - $14.49 Size - 750 mL- Spanish Wine Tasting held on Saturday April 9, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs and presented by Grand Vin Distributing.

This blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Manzuello grapes sees 6 months on oak and 18 months aging in the bottle. Has a sweet fruity nose. This wine is decently dry and is a little too light, almost watery. Nothing to be impressed with. For more information visit Wines of Martinez Bujanda. Grade: C
