Conde De Valdemar Crianza Tempranillo 2006 - Pretty berry and cherry flavors are accented by vanilla, spice and smoke in this lithe, graceful red. Bright acidity keeps this lively. Drink now through 2012. 40,000 cases made. -TM, Wine Spectator, Score: 87

The Martinez Bujanda family, producers of Valdemar wines, founded their original winery in 1889. They own 820 acres of vineyards, which makes Valdemar one of the largest estates in the Rioja. A new winery was built in 1984 to take advantage of modern technologies, integrating both new and time-honored traditions of winemaking.
