Ultreia Saint Jacques Mencía 2022

Don’t see this varietal on a restaurant menu very often, so I grabbed it. Great choice. With rack of lamb and braised beef short ribs, it was truly wonderful. — 5 days ago

"El Picaro" Toro Tempranillo 2024

A rich meaty aroma with dark fruit undertones, lush on the palate with dark jammy fruits, a bit of tart black cherry and medium tannins, all deliciously balanced. A friggin steal at $15!! — 6 days ago

Pintia Toro Tempranillo 2020

A. R.
9.1

Still way too young. Amazing upside, highly extracted. I generally dislike this big style, but man is this well made. Dark fruit and pepper in the nose, lots of unresolved tannins, minerals and dark fruit in the mouth. Long finish. — 15 days ago

Bodegas Numanthia

Numanthia Toro Tempranillo 2019

Located in the Toro region of Spain. Its four vineyards are located along the south bank of the Duero River, aged 18 mos in 60% new French oak. Bright Ruby, complex fruit aromas, spice and oak. On the palate blackberry fruit, powerful, elegant, with spice & smoky notes on full, very fine tannins. Long finish, nice mouthfeel, ending with mineral earthy tones, a joy to Sip!! Will age! — 18 days ago

Descendientes de José Palacios

Pétalos Bierzo Mencía 2019

A lot going on here, and it's good. Smells like cola and chocolate. Tastes like milk chocolate, plums, medjool dates, brown sugar? Dry, tannic, puckery finish, but with lower acidity. Delicious, and a meal into itself.

Last summer, I drank the 2021 vintage of this wine @restaurantcasaruben in Spain. I also gave it 94 points at the time. This Mencia is absolutely my cup of tea!

Single Vineyard Tempranillo 2018

Single Vineyard Tempranillo from Central Spain. Dark ruby/purple color. Aromas of ripe black fruit, tobacco, wet soil and anise seed. Flavors of cooked black cherries, currants and plums, dark cocoa powder, black olives and vanilla. Nicely integrated toasty oak on the long and plush finish. Full bodied. Extremely complex and nicely balanced. Well integrated and very smooth tannins. Bold and very well structured. Quite satisfying. Outstanding quality for the price. Great pick, Petey! — 2 months ago
