Bodegas Valdemar

87 PTS WILFRED WONG. A tasty wine, the perky '06 Esencia Valdemar Rosado brings excellent fruit to the palate; a nicely evolved wine; a good match with oven-baked salmon with fresh herbs.

Deep ruby color; with frech aromas of plums and black cherry; full-bodied on the palate with notes of sweet oak and fresh raspberries; perfect to serve with roasted meats or grilled shrimp.

85 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The '05 Conde de Valdemar Crianza is quite ripe on the nose, such that raisin and sweetness are front and center; saturated in the mouth.

90 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. The '05 Conde de Valdemar Rioja Reserva displays aromas and flavors of smoke, mineral, leather, spice box, and blackberry; ripe, sweetly fruited, medium-bodied wine.
