Tasting Montebuena Rioja 2010



• Name: Montebuena
• Variety: Cuvee KPF
• Region: Rioja
• Country: Spain
• Year: 2010
• Price: $8.95
• Shop/wine critic/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." 
 My review: This red wine looks very dark and had a strong smell of dark fruit and oak. This wine tastes like a mixed variety of grapes. It had a long body and long finish. The finish of this wine is a little too bitter for me, but overall it is quality wine
• I had this wine at a wine tasting and did not had food with it.
