Name: Montebuena
Variety: Tempranillo (14% Alcohol)
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $9
My Review: This is a medium-bodied wine with moderate legs that is deep maroon in color. It smells like blackberries and strawberries with some smoke and oak aromas as well. This wine has almost no flavor. It is smooth but too bland. There is also an artificial flavor on the finish that I do not like.
Winery Review: 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.
I did not drink this with food
I probably would not drink this again (5/10)
