Bodegas Avancia 2015 Cuvée De O Mencia Rosé (Valdeorras, Spain), $14.44-$16.99, 90 points, poured the color of Pink-Salmon Caviar.
The aromas of strawberry and watermelon were good, but shy, and there was a floral vibe hiding behind them.
Light, crisp, appropriately acidic with a red fruit flavor profile and accented with a hint of jasmine were tasty.
Finished long on the red fruit, ginger, watermelon rind, and a potent 13.5% alcohol.
Paired well with my spicy tacos and sour cream.

This sounds like a very tasty wine, at a very nice price.
ReplyDeleteVG: I was enticed by the unusual varietal: Mencia.
