Adega Algueira S.L.
Ribeira Sacra Mencía
Nice little mencia! Great bottle for the table at like $20. There is a semi-whole-cluster or semi-carbonic situation going on that makes this great to chill down a bit and enjoy with simple fare or by itself.

Aug 14th, 2020Bright ruby. Spice-tinged cherry and black raspberry aromas show very good clarity and pick up suggestions of musky flowers and earth with air. Nicely concentrated but nervy on the palate, offering subtly sweet red/dark fruit flavors, exotic chewing tobacco and black cardamom qualities. Shows sharp delineation and spicy thrust on the persistent finish, which features gentle tannins and a suave floral nuance. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2019)

Oct 10th, 2019Enjoyable Mencia. Good earth, leather and savory in with the cherries. A tad thin, but makes it a nice warm weather red.
