Pedro Escudero 2006 Valdelainos Verdejo (Rueda)
- Best Buy
- $11
Consistency is a virtue in this business, and this wine tastes almost exactly like the highly recommended 2005. The nose blends green grass and golden fruits, while the palate is clean, intense and snappy. This is a wine that sings, and the interspersed notes of bell pepper, grapefruit and mineral are just right for Verdejo. Drink right away for maximum freshness.

Pedro Escudero 2010 Fuente Elvira Verdejo (Rueda)
- $17
Simply delicious as refreshing, no-oak white wines go. There’s telltale grapefruit and stony aromas in front of a pure, easygoing palate endowed with grapefruit, passion fruit and tangerine flavors. Still, it’s not overly citric or one-dimensional; excellent Verdejo with a little extra in terms of refinement.

Pedro Escudero 2007 Fuente Elivra Verdejo (Rueda)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
A slightly heavier version of Verdejo, especially given 2007’s cool conditions in Rueda. The wine has waxy peach and papaya aromas follwed by apricot, pineapple and mango flavors. It definitely opens on the palate and then finishes with a fleshy texture, additional fruit and even some nuts. Good complexity yet still a forward type of white wine.

Pedro Escudero 2006 Fuente Elvira Verdejo (Rueda)
- $14
Basic and fresh, yet not very individual in its aromas or flavors. The nose is your standard mineral and snappy citrus, while the palate offers nice apple, lemon and grapefruit flavors. It’s more of tangy, cleansing wine than anything deep or cerebral. Drink now with salads or grilled shrimp.

Pedro Escudero 2010 Fuente Milano Verdejo-Viura (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)
- Best Buy
- $10
Hard to complain about a fresh, basic white wine like this. It’s juicy and pleasant, with melon, citrus and nice acidity. The finish is fresh and lasting, and overall it’s pure and fairly full-bodied for basic Verdejo-Viura.

Pedro Escudero 2005 Fuente Elvira Verdejo (Rueda)
- $14
Solid and spunky, with tight mineral-driven apple and nectarine aromas. The palate yields citrus and dried fruits, while the mouthfeel and finish are smooth and satisfying but nothing extraordinary. Simply a good white wine made right.

Pedro Escudero 2005 Fuente Elvira - Fermentado en Barrica Verdejo (Rueda)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
It’s hard to rate an aging, oxidizing, barrel-fermented Verdejo and take into consideration the wine’s faded qualities versus its complexities. If you like dried apricots, dehydrated mango slices and fruit jellies, then this will tickle your fancy. Adherents to the school that believes whites should be fresh and palate cleansing should take a pass.

Pedro Escudero 2003 Fuente Elvira Verdejo (Rueda)
- $22
The gold color and heavy oak aromas indicate barrel fermentation, which for this reviewer is not the ideal way to produce Verdejo. That said, this wine is made well, with plump melon and apple flavors cuddled in vanilla and wood resin. Very thick and woody; like being lost in the forest.
