| 2005 Alejandro Fernandez Spanish Red "Pesquera Crianza" Winery: Alejandro Fernandez Vintage: 2005 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Pesquera Crianza" Wine Category: Spanish Red Grape blend: 100% Tempranillo Region: Ribera del Duero State or country: Spain Price: $35 Cases produced: 60,000 KWG Score: 91.8 (based on 5 reviews) Average Virtual Score: 89 (based on 1 review) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good+ (93.99-90) Review date: August 3, 2008 Wine Review: This very dark purple wine is almost black in color. It opens up with a cherry and cedar like bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is nicely balanced and has a dry mouthfeel with dusty black cherry like flavors with a touch of black current. The finish is very dry and has soft tannins that linger for quite some time. This wine will really appeal to those readers that like a dry red wine. It paired very nicely with a grilled steak smothered in sautéed mushroom and onion in a brown sauce. Enjoy – Ken Winemaker Notes: 2005 was a drought year with moderate temperatures, creating a dense, dark wine with intense primary fruit character. A rich wine with soft, integrated tannins, this will be enjoyable young, yet will require many years to gain complexity in bottle. An important and cellar-worthy vintage. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Alejandro Fernandez 2005 Pesquera.
