Tasting - Montebuena

Name: Montebuena
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95




Winery review: Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja - Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes

My review: This wine was age-oaked for 9 months which gives it some pretty excellent flavor. This wine was bursting with different berry tastes - especially cherry. I noticed a high level of tannins in this wine which made it full bodied. I liked this wine not only for the taste but for it's easy drink-ability. I would have this one again for sure!
