Its flagship wine, Contador, is one of Spain's most consistently high-priced wines, on par with Pingus and Vega Sicilia. Made predominantly from Tempranillo and aged in French oak, Contador is known for being full-bodied, fruit-driven and rich. The estate was established in 1995 when Artadi winemaker Benjamin Romeo purchased a cellar under the Castle of San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja, some 35km (21 miles) northwest of Logroño. Romeo began to buy vineyards in the area, making the wines in his parents' garage and aging his wines in barrel in the cellar. Romeo's production initially began with the La Cueva del Contador label in 1996, and the first vintage of Contador was in 1999. The 2004 and 2005 vintages of the latter went on to receive 100-point scores from Robert Parker, cementing the wine's in-demand status.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2022-12-26T11:00:42-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-23T06:44:27-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Spain","Other_Wine","Producer_Contador Benjamin Romeo","Region_Rioja","RK2312","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Tempranillo"],"price":79899,"price_min":79899,"price_max":79899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42643427098762,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2014 | Contador Benjamin Romeo | Coleccion No. 1 La Vina de Andres Romeo","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":79899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/01_30797402-4b41-411e-a22c-86d5970be617.png?v=1671796016"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/01_30797402-4b41-411e-a22c-86d5970be617.png?v=1671796016","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2014 | Contador Benjamin Romeo | Coleccion No. 1 La Vina de Andres Romeo at CaskCartel.com","id":23830596616330,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.456,"height":647,"width":295,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/01_30797402-4b41-411e-a22c-86d5970be617.png?v=1671796016"},"aspect_ratio":0.456,"height":647,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/01_30797402-4b41-411e-a22c-86d5970be617.png?v=1671796016","width":295}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2014 | Contador Benjamin Romeo | Coleccion No. 1 La Vina de Andres Romeo\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's medium to full-bodied, with abundant fine-grained, chalky tannins and a supple, long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Contador Benjamin Romeo\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e | 94\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2014\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.6%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Tempranillo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Spain, Rioja\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's medium to full-bodied, with abundant fine-grained, chalky tannins and a supple, long finish.
