Varietal: Mencía
Wine: Mencía
Label: Eira Vella, Roble
Region: Spain
Year: 2009
Date Tasted: March 2012
Notes:
A very dry light red, this wine's greatest strength seems to be in what it makes you keep looking for. I usually describe wine flavors in a set of three to try to define parameters that you can take as the outside of the (as it were) 2d flavor diagram, and for this wine, I have to use blueberry, cranberry, and snow - not watery, but a sort of soft chill that makes you laugh without really knowing why. Be careful of pairing this wine with bold flavors, but if you are looking for a dry companion to desert or a vegetable platter, this should be more than at home.
