Wine Description:
This is a medium-bodied, cherry-hued red wine from the Bierzo region of Spain. It is made from the Mencia grape, a variety that is known for its bright fruit and acidity. On the nose, the wine has aromas of ripe cherry and strawberry, along with hints of leather and tobacco. On the palate, the tannins are firm yet supple, and the acidity is juicy and vibrant, with flavors of cherry and red currant. The finish is long and savory, with a touch of spice. Overall, this is a pleasant, easy-drinking red that is perfect for casual meals. Pros:
- Notes of dark red fruit, tobacco, and herbs on the nose
Cons:
- High level of acidity may be off-putting to some drinkers
Wine Expert Note:
This Castro Candaz Mencia is a delightful red wine with a deep garnet hue. On the nose, it offers up aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and cassis with hints of leather and earthy undertones. The palate is well-balanced with a medium-bodied structure and a lively acidity. Fruity flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and currant mingle with subtle notes of black pepper, tobacco, and wet slate. The finish is long and persistent with a pleasant lingering flavor. Enjoy with grilled meats, hearty stews, and robust pasta dishes.Taste Flavor
