BODEGAS TRITON AVANTE MENCIA - 2009

Made from 100% Mencia grapes, a varietal that if you haven't heard of, is one you should get acquainted with rather quickly.

TASTING NOTES:

Dark red color with explosive grapey-berries on the nose.  Rich, focused cherry and black fruit with smoke, raspberries and minerality. Lengthy finish with a backbone.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

90+ PTS
A juicy fruit explosion with mouth-watering deliciousness.  This wine has strength and finesse.  Spain still remains one of the best values in the marketplace.  Pick this one up on sale for as little as $12 a bottle.
