Tasting: Montebuena




Name: Montebuena
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Winery Review: Ripe cherry and black current 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 tannis 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.

My Review: This wine had a very dark color. I smelled dark fruits, definitely picked up on the cherry smell and also got hints of plum. It was very smooth and tasted very fruity, again I picked up on the cherry taste and also tasted blackberries. It also had a little spice to it.
I did not have with food.
