"100% Tempranillo aged 3-4 months in new French oak (semi-crianza). Montebuena, which means ‘good mountain’, is the name of one of the best quality areas of Rioja. It is in the eastern part of the village of Labastida and covers more than 160 hectares (395 acres). Med deep ruby. Rich oaky, ripe plum dark cherry aromas and flavors. Medium tannins. Fairly rich and smooth if fine textured tannins. Good moxie for price. - Joe BUTLER MW"
