Red Wine that is noteworthy under $10 a bottle!
This is only my second post about inexpensive good wines. I decided to write this post for one of my Active Rain Friends who drinks good inexpensive red wines. I thought she could add these two bottles to her repertories. For those of you who missed my previous post, here it is for your convenience (http://activerain.com/blogsview/1407763/being-frugal-in-back-in-fashion-now ). In today's challenging economic times it is good to have a resource for inexpensive but good wine. So if you need one, feel free to reach out to me directly.
The First one I will mention is the Montebuena (estate bottled) 2009 red wine from Spain under $9 dollars, by www.kysela.com importers.
This is not your typical red wine from Spain; it is much deeper with a dark fig and plum palate. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it a 90 pointer, which is a very high rating for a wine like this, firmly structured with a smooth finish. I should have bought a case rather than just one bottle.
Coto De Hayas Garnacha Centenaria 2009 red wines from Spain as well under $10 dollars a bottle. Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar rated it 88 points. I actually thought it was better than that.
The grape production for this wine was limited to 5,500 vines, from three vineyards, which were planted over 100 years ago. The wine is aged for four months in American oak barrels, followed by a minimum of four months in bottles.
The wine has great clarity and brightness with a deep ruby red color. The nose is potent blend of spices and ripe fruit. The palate is full, harmonious and smooth with good length. In the finish there is a return to the fruit and spice, which is first detected in the nose.
These two bottles of wine I would be willing to put it in a blind taste testing against a lot of $25-$50 bottles and I am confident you would pick these two over them.
