Don Bernardino 2012 Amandi Red (Ribeira Sacra)

Country: Spain / Amandi
Variety: Red Blend Galicia
Winery: Don Bernardino / Ribeira Sacra

This blend of Mencía, the local Grand Noir and Merenzao opens with raisiny, spicy, slightly baked aromas that suggest nutmeg. The palate is drawing and hard, with earthy, slightly cooked flavors of cherry and kirsch that end with a dash of lemony oak.
