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

Winery review: "(100% Tempranillo, raised entirely in American oak): 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. - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept. 2012)
My review: The nose of this red was light, and smelled of apricot and red fruits. It has a warm mouthfeel, a luscious texture with hints of tobacco on the finish. This wine was pleasant.
