The 2004 Reserva is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Mazuelo aged for 18 months in French and American oak. Dark crimson-colored, it reveals an alluring nose of cedar, spice box, tobacco, black cherry, and blackberry. On the palate it displays considerable finesse along with plenty of ripe, spicy red and black fruit, a silky texture, and excellent balance. This lengthy effort will continue to evolve for another 2-3 years and offer prime drinking from 2011 to 2020.The original Bodegas Valdemar was founded in Rioja in 1889 with construction of the current winery dating to 1981. The winery has been one of the pioneers in the push to modernize the style of Rioja wines with the goal to make a fresh, fruit-driven expression. The winery owns a total of 1100 acres divided among the three sub-regions of Rioja.Importer: CIV-USA, Sacramento, CA; tel. (800) 669-1972

Sweet vanilla spice, mixed fruit, and savoury, herbal notes. Structured, with juicy acidity and chalky tannins. Traditional style.

Raisin and raspberry are the prime fruit aromas, and there’s smokiness to go with it. Fresh, tangy and not too heavy in the mouth, with classic Rioja flavors of raspberry, pie cherry, herbs and spice. Thorough and streamlined, with licorice and pepper flavors to the finish. Drink now through 2014. ——M.S.(2/1/2011)—— 88
