Montebuena 2009 Rioja

American Importer Fran Kysela will stop at nothing to discover and bring to the American wine market some of the world's greatest wine values. For years he has been introducing wine lovers around America to high quality, low cost wines and today's offering may be the best Spanish Rioja we have ever offered under ten bucks. Rioja and specifically this style of Tempranillo is the perfect food wine because of its versatility. Loaded with fruit but light on its feet, this spectacular value red pairs well with just about anything grilled, braised, roasted and baked; spicy or mild. From the sensational 2009 vintage in Rioja, Parker wrote: The 2009 Montebuena is 100% Tempranillo. Dark ruby-colored, it offers an appealing perfume of spice box, leather, tobacco, and blackberry. On the palate it is packed with ripe fruit, has outstanding concentration, and impeccable balance. It is a great bargain that offers a sneak preview of the great 2009 vintage in Rioja and northern Spain in general. It should drink well for 6-8 years.
