Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain
Very dense red fruits - sour cherries and eastern spices. 2011 opened very tight but softened after 30 minutes.

Plush n. Rhone-like coolness. Pure Mencia class. Love in a glass.

Nice to find such a high acid Spanish red. Makes me want to do a bit more exploration here.

The terraces on the Ribeira Sacra were originally cut by the Romans millennia ago. Steep and unforgiving, farming along the "sacred river" is a truly heroic task. This Mencia wine is lean with tart cherries and raspberries with a hint of pepperiness.
