Five minutes of gut-churning, durian-stink, stench-of-death reduction gives way to a pleasant, one-dimensional, appealing Mencia. A little raspberry, a little game juice. I can’t begin to imagine how many bottles get rejected in restaurants. This is the vinous equivalent of your best friend punching you in the face to say hello. #guimaro #ribeirasacra #mencía

This wine is crushing it. Beautiful fruit, spice, and acid. A fantastic wine at a ridiculous value.

Peppery, gamey meat notes upon opening, reminiscent of a Rhone syrah. Black fruits like plum and blackberry on the palate, medium/light, smooth with a medium finish.

Dope! Super flow time. Reminiscent of a gamay.

Richer style of mencia. Good quaffer tapas wine on a cold evening.
