Straight from Labastida, Montebuena Rioja 2004, a Steal

Now that the weather heats up, I will have to come up with some lighter reds and maybe some whites and rosé wines.

In the meantime I do have to recommend this Montebuena, Rioja (2004) straight from Labastida.

It is a medium red. Various reviews find traces of everything from coffee and vanilla to berries.
