Sold to me as Spanish Pinot noir. Good. A little too dry. Could have been chilled too.

I loved this wine! Mild spicy notes at the front and dried fruit aroma. Despite the fruity characteristics, it maintains a dry and medium sweetness, making it very drinkable.

Drank this with home made chicken piccata. I think it required an hour open before it reached its potential. This was also very good we got it on sale for 11.99 which was a steal. Wish we got more than 3 bottles. Great complexity with this. Should do well with a little age

Es un vino que no esta en su mejor momento pero es un vino muy interesante y de muy buen precio. Intensidad media de color intenso, en nariz muchos frutos negros, mora violeta algo de pimienta negra. En boca acidez justa, fresca, tanino con relieve granulado, final medio. #vino correcto. Tuvo que estar mejor. #wine #bierzo #mencia #mencía #spain #winelover #winemaker #wines #wineporn #redwine #sommelier #sumiller #somm

Decent. No oak but very short. Needs food.
