ratings pedigree (past vintages):
red wine style:
Light & Fruity Smooth & Supple Earthy & Spicy Big & Bold
winemaker's notes:

Produced from 100% Tempranillo grapes, which are hand harvested from the Montebuena vineyard.

Brilliant deep ruby red color, fruity aromas. Montebuena Red has a spicy vanilla bouquet and is smooth and fruity in the mouth with some well-integrated secondary nuances, full-flavored and a persistent pleasant finish.

alcohol by volume: 13.5%
critical acclaim:

"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."

rating (1/19/2012):
I didnt enjoy the bottle I received at a local restaurant tonight. At first taste it seemed to have earthy tones which I can enjoy in a wine. I found myself gradually relating its smell and taste to that of a farm (the unpleasant kind). As we brought it home a while later and tried it with a clear palate, it did not improve. I won't say don't try this wine but I will say that my experience with it has been memorable. I won't be purchasing this wine again.
