Bodegas Ontañon Reserva 2011 Review
This is the definition of a crowd pleaser. It has pinot Noir and merlot feels with cab-like tannin. It has a soft fruit core, showing aromas that will remind you of cherries, a leather bag store in the mall, and a tobacco shop. The mouthfeel is soft, with some edgy tannins framing the wine. It’s ready to drink right now, and calls for a wine and cheese night.
