The 2020 Alvarez de Toledo Mencia Roble is a full-bodied red wine from the Bierzo region of Spain. It is made from 100% Mencia grapes, which are grown in the region’s clay-limestone soils. The wine has a deep ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruits, blackberries, and spices. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with flavors of blackberry, cherry, and a hint of pepper. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and lingering. This is a great wine to pair with grilled meats, stews, and hard cheeses. Enjoy it now or cellar it for a few years to allow the flavors to develop further.
