Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Tinto 2017

Sophisticated and interesting blend of black fruit, cherry, and pepper, with a understated oak influence that adds density and nuance to the ultimately character.

A robust and full-bodied Spanish red blend, presenting the best of Alicante Buschet, Monastrell, and Syrah. The French influence is evident, but the grape varieties are seamlessly balanced, with a smooth, round feel and a gentle trace of oak. The fruit nuances are deep and dark, with a comforting minerality and a suggestion of spice, culminating in a long, satisfying finish. As the wine opens up, its complexity and richness become even more apparent, revealing a rich, full-bodied touch and a subtle nuance of pepper. A truly fantastic wine, with top notch aging potential.

Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, intense color and a brooding character. The flavor profile is controlled by by intense fruit, notably prunes and plums, with a suggestion of bitterness and a long, dry finish.
