"The Cua Tinto Mencía exhibits a dark ruby color and has a fruity nose with light bramble and savory notes. It is soft on the attack with lovely fruit flavors and is mouth filling with wonderful texture and a long complex finish with a hint of minerals and cocoa."

"A silky texture carries harmonious, if somewhat muted, flavors of red plum, tobacco, sage and mineral in this focused red. Light, well-integrated tannins and lively acidity give this balance. Should bloom in a year or two. Drink now through 2024. 1,500 cases made. – T.M."

"Deep magenta. Mineral- and spice-accented dark berries and candied violet on the highly perfumed nose. Nervy and sharply focused on the palate, offering gently sweet cherry and blackberry flavors that slowly spread out with air. Juicy and seamless in texture, with fine-grained tannins adding shape to a long, floral-tinged finish. All stainless steel. - Josh Raynolds"
