Winemaker Notes

#68 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2014

Wine with a strong personality with a complex, elegant yet concentrated nose, with ripe red fruit notes enveloped in aromas of mineral and wildflowers along with spicy notes from the wood. It is smooth and elegant on the palate and has sweet and pleasant tannins. Of note is its persistent and lingering finish in the mouth.

    Focused yet expressive, this balanced red offers cherry, boysenberry and currant fruit, with accents of toast, licorice and mineral. The flavors build through the long and spicy finish. Drink now through 2020.
  • 91
    The 2010 Mencia takes advantage of the blending and diversity of terroirs and the use of both American and French oak, which gives complexity to the end product. Mineral and balsamic, fresh and ripe, it is my favorite wine from the portfolio today. It is clean, pure and delightful to drink. Drink 2014-2018.

Spanish red wine is known for being bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy, Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained—and flourished—only through a great understanding of Spain’s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.

Of the Spanish red wines, the most planted and respected grape variety is Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Priorat specializes in bold red blends, Jumilla has gained global recognition for its single varietal Monastrell and Utiel-Requena has garnered recent attention for its reds made of Bobal.
