We're thrilled to have Mencia in the Columbia Gorge. The story of Mencia Maestro Raul Perez consulting on the vineyard is well known, and it's hard to argue with the results. This Mencia tastes like some of the best single vineyard offerings from Bierzo. Aromas of blackberry, orange peel, and szechuan peppercorn lead to a pure silk palate defined by fresh acidity, plenty of black and orange fruits, and a brambly earth finish. Absolutely stunning stuff.
