Estévez Bodegas y Viñedos Valtuille de Abajo Vino de Villa Bierzo 2022
Sunday Spaniards! Who’s ready for Men-theeee-AHHHHHHH! Every over-pronouncing fool’s favorite grape in the world (that’s me!) is BACK! 93 POINTS from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, and seriously good – especially at our Last Bottle PRICE! You really NEVER see this grape outside of Spain, and that’s really a shame, because it absolutely ROCKS! Incredible floral and high-toned notes – like the most elegant pinot noir you’ve ever tasted, plus these tingly red and blue fruits like cabernet franc on steroids, all with this savory roasted herbs, and coffee bean elements that would make Northern Rhone Syrah blush like a schoolgirl – MENCIA is an experience that has to be tasted to be believed. It ages like great Bordeaux. It works with myriad foods like Provençal rosé…it’s the Swiss Army Knife of the wine world, people! (But, you know, Spanish – so much, much cheaper.)
Get this… ONLY NINETEEN DOLLARS! Even Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate is sounding the alarm, saying, “There's never been better and more interesting wines in Bierzo than now.” NOW! We’ve scored this for the BEST price anywhere good people…and if there is one wine you absolutely, positively, simply MUST become old pals with in 2025 and beyond…THIS is that wine!
I mean, the aromatics – roses, peonies, violets, lavender, cherry blossoms, hibiscus – you name it!!! Then this cascade of tart, sour, and sweet red fruits – cranberries, cherries, raspberries, red currants – followed by juicy blueberries, with some sultry, toasty mocha dusting, and fresh-roasted coffee bean TORREFACTION (love that word!) with this hyper-refreshing note of hibiscus agua fresca, and these silky, velvety smooth tannins that give this structure, and mouthfeel, and a simply never-ending finish. HUZZAH, this is good! Acidity to age (and pair with virtually anything on your weekly dinner menu), and elegant enough to fool even the most elite wine-snobs into thinking this is a $70 or $80 wine. 93 POINTS from Parker is always noteworthy on an under $20 red – so you can be sure…wine geeks, porch-pounding friends, and impossible-to-please relatives are all going to find something to LOVE here!
Not even enough for a SLOW Sunday – to the fastest fingers go the delectable Bierzo red!
