Montebuena 2010 [Red]
Producer: Bodegas Solagüen
Region: DOC Rioja

This is one of the best values to be found in Rioja wine today. 100% Tempranillo with just touch of oak. 2010 was a very good vintage in the region and this Montebuena shows why. Ready to drink, but will cellar well for a few more years. Excellent.

Nice cherry/ruby red color. Scents of vanilla and cherry/blueberry fruit dominate the nose. There's oaky spice & chocolate as well. On the palate it's smooth & easy to drink with a pleasant combination of fruit (strawberry/blueberry) with well defined, silky tannins. Good with food or on its own.
