This is the sustainable vineyards wine from the winery.
Color is clear medium + ruby (quite dark actually).
Nose is clean, medium + with aromatics of fruit and floral.
Palate is dry, medium alc. with medium + body, medium acid and medium tannin. In other words the palate is fairly rich for the wine, and especially rich for the other Mencia's that I have had (mostly Petalos). Finish lingers in fruit and floral range, adding note of spice (barrel?).
Overall for $14 this is very good wine. The complexity in the aromatics and palate lead me to this conclusion. The tannins ride out a bit on the finish but the fruit holds.

Not bad and a decent amount going on with the palate for a $14 wine.

A nice wine for a weekdaty meal. A bit fruity; but we enjoyed is with pork and also with some chocolate.

Not enjoyable whatsoever - smells of cat urine, even after opened for a couple of days. Returning the rest of the case
