La Mano 2012 Roble Mencía (Bierzo)

Country: Spain / Roble
Variety: Mencía Northern Spain
Winery: La Mano / Bierzo

Pinched, lightly medicinal aromas of raspberry and plum feed into a bright, jumpy palate. Quick blasts of plum and berry flavors come with spice notes, while the finish is light, fresh and a touch peppery. This delivers true Mencia character for not much money.
