Tasting- "Montebuena Rioja"
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Vintage Cellar Revie
w: "(100%
Tempranillo, raised entirely in American oak): Vivid ruby. 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."
My Review: This is a dark-red / ruby colored wine. It has a slight cherry flavor but too astringent for my tastes. In general, a good wine but not something I would seek out on my own.
