Tasting- Montebuena

Name: Montebuena
Variety: 100% Termpranillo
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.

My review: The nose brought along a strong sour cherry.  It also had a jammy quality to it.  Then tasting it brought a smooth and sweet jammy black fruit that was very sticky.  This wine was pretty good and would consider trying it again at a later date.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
