Name: Montebuena Rioja Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo
Country: Spain
Region: Rioja
Year: 2007
Price: $6.95
Vintage Cellar Description: 100% Tempranillo. Dark red. Spicy red berries and cherry on the nose, with hints of cracked pepper and dried rose. Crisp and dry on the palate, with spicy redcurrant and cherry flavors, light tannins and a fresh, energetic finish. An excellent value, and surprisingly elegant for this price point.
My Review: The lineup at the Vintage Cellar this Thursday was strong as this was yet another good wine. Maybe a little more tannic than the last wine on this blog, it was also fairly complex and would be a good wine to pair with food. The description describes a fair amount of spice and that comes through in the wine. This one, my roommate bought and I look forward to enjoying.
