The 2006 Valdehermoso Crianza offers similar attributes but is a bit rounder and more forward. It can be enjoyed over the next 6-8 years.
Bodegas y Vinedos Valderiz is owned by Tomas Esteban who farms 75 hectares of vines over 20 different parcels in the Roa region of Ribera del Duero. His entry level and top end wines are first class but the Crianza bottling is where the value lies.
