Vintage Cellar Tasting - Montebuena

  • Name: Montebuena
  • Variety: Tempranillo
  • Region: Rioja
  • Country: Spain
  • Year: 2010
  • Price: $8.95
  • Shoppe Review: 100% Tempranillo.  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.
  • Myye Review: The nose of this wine definitely reminded me of raspberries, I love raspberries, probably definitely my favorite kind of berry hands down.  So you could probably guess that I was pretty excited for this wine.  I swirled the delicate wine in my mouth coating every surface with the delightful flavors of the dark red wine.  There were light tannins, black cherries, and a mild sweetness.  It was very good but I am cheap as hell, so you know I didn't buy this one as much as I may have wanted to.
  • OMG you know what I have been forgetting????  The food part of my blog@!!!
    • There was no food...
