Tasting: Montebuena

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

Winery review: Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the mouth. Pilant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained 


My review: On the nose this wine is very complex but, surprisingly, tastes much lighter than it smells. The most distinct flavor is white pepper. The Montebuena has a tart finish.


Food:  None
