The 2010 Conde de Valdemar Crianza is a rich, powerful and palatable Crianza, with a deep color, lactic, spicy and red and black fruit notes in the nose and a polished palate with a spicy finish. Drink 2014-2017. Bodegas Valdemar, which seemed very modern when created in 1985, has a wide portfolio of well-crafted, clean wines showing good typicity and balance as well as an interesting collection of varietals. They now produce two million bottles of very regular, crowd-pleasing wines. Imported by CIV (USA) Coleccion Internacional Del Vino, Sacramento, CA; tel. (800) 669-1972; www.civusa.com
