Explosively mineral from the steep, black slate soils. Hard to believe this wine doesn't see any oak. Intense stuff.

Great value! Balanced, layered flavors, complex. Would buy a six pack in a heart beat. And I just might.

Very nice red from the Mencia grape.
No hard edges and really a sniffer!

It had a little more body than what I was looking for at the time, and a bit more fruit forward but it's a good wine

Super medium body lunch wine, very smooth, plenty of fruit.

Well rounded. Light with a nice body at the same time. Nice effervescence. Non drying/headache inducing.

Great value, gamay-like, effervescent red wine, which pairs crazy well with oysters on the half-shell. I think this wine will blow away those who never tried similar stuff, as it is definitely out of the main stream. I am stoked by the earthy nose and deeper mouth roundness post effervescent first blush, given its oakless process. A red that works in a normally white environment! I am at Haven, in Tampa x3 (plenty to try there so GO!) sporting the best oysters since Terrapins, VA Bch. Cheers!
