Montecillo Rioja Reserva 2001
Tempranillo
from Rioja, Spain
winemaker's notes:
Color: An intense and very deep cherry-pomegranate color with ruby tones, clean and brilliant.
Bouquet: Deep and fruity with a perfect touch of oak integrated into the ripened fruit.
Taste: Powerful and full-bodied although soft, round and velvety, it fills the mouth with ripe blackberries and firm tannins. Very well-structured, with a long, elegant finish.
Food pairings: An ideal accompaniment to red meat, especially when grilled, and all kinds of roasted meats, including those that are well-spiced. As a powerful wine, it also reinforces the flavors of strong and well-cured cheeses, such as Blue Cheese and Roquefort.
