This lighter-bodied Mencía from Valdeorras shows exotic, minerally aromas of raspberry, blueberry and Middle Eastern spices. The palate runs crisp and fresh, but not real deep or intense. Flavors of raspberry, plum and schist finish dry and floral, with a touch of lasting oak.

This smells red and reedy up front, with a punch-like aroma that comes with a nice hint of fresh herb. It's fresh in feel, with brushy red-fruit flavors of currant, raspberry and plum. The finish is floral and likable.
