Tasting-Montebuena

Name:  Montebuena
Variety:  100% Tempranillo
Region:  Rioja
Country:  Spain
Year:  2010
Price:  $8.95

Vintage Cellar 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:  This is the best selling wine at the vintage cellar in the last three years.  This wine has a very strong black cherry smell.  The taste reminds me of a sweet tart because it is sour and sweet at the same time.  The wine was delicious.  I feel like it would taste good with spaghetti.  I was not eating any food while at the wine tasting.
