2022 Mencía
$28.00
Inspired by our travels through Northern Spain, our 2022 Mencía is an elegant and versatile expression of this California-grown, light-bodied red wine.
We crafted the 2022 Mencía by carefully sorting the fruit clusters before undergoing a 100% whole cluster, native fermentation which was then pressed into neutral barriques for 11 months of aging before bottling.
This wine is a paradox. The nose is meaty and rich, full of red plums, white pepper, Black Mission figs, fruit leather, and bourbon soaked cherries. A palette reminiscent of pomegranate, ripe bing cherries, baking spices, and well done pie crust. There is a lovely structure, with fine tannin and a slightly bitter, aperitif-like finish. Serve chilled and with everything. Seriously.
