This great value Rioja comes from Burgo Viejo in Rioja Baja. One of our best selling Riojas at this price, Montebuena has excellent pure cherry fruit character framed by good structure and well integrated notes of cocoa, smoke and spice. A great every day wine for whatever you plan on having.

90 Points, The Wine Advocate: "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."
