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 textrue, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fin-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 and excellent value for Rioja.(03/28/2013- Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA)

My review:This red wine had a nose of chocolate covered cherries as well as pepper. It tasted pretty dry and like raspberries as well. I did not have any food with this wine paring however I would have liked to try some with it.
