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: In the wine glass it had a deep red color. The Montebuena had a heavier smell with some hints of spices. This was a drier wine that did not blend the alcohol feeling of the wine very well. The wine finished off with some spicy flavors.
I did not drink this wine with food.
