Full and extracted for a Mencía, with a beautiful deep garnet pigment. Considered a local clone of Cabernet Franc there is the high grape-style tannins but also so much more. This wine is big, sweet and syrupy with lots of red raspberry jam and blackberry pie. The finish has a roasted herb and mineral quality that adds just enough earthiness.
