Deep ruby in color, this wine has a nose that rocks black pepper and black cherry. On the palate, the black pepper blooms and a stemmy green quality underlies the brambly fruit and cherry. The tannins start gritty then lean out. Though Mencia is more commonly found in along the western Iberia Peninsula as a medium-bodied red, the varietal expression is truly celebrated here!
