Wine: Bodegas Montecillo 1996 Gran Reserva
Review: More WineBid goodness. I heard about this winery on Grape Radio and was tempted to try out one of their wines. When I came across this one on WineBid, I could not resist.
This wine is made entirely from Tempranillo grapes, which are indigenous to Spain. This is my first experience with Tempranillo and I enjoyed it. The wine was bold out of the bottle with strong overtones of pepper and berries. It mellowed quickly, and had a great flavor with the taste of berries and spices and a hint of vanilla.
The wine is full-bodied, with a long lasting taste that really complemented the Sharp Cheddar on which I was snacking.
Price: $25
Grade: 85
