SPAIN : VALENCIA Garnacha, Monastrell, Tintorera
Deborah Heath
Stellar blend from #Valencia of near-extinct native grape #mandó + 25% #monastrell (mourvèdre), fermented in stainless, then transferred to clay #tinajas for 14 months. Rich, bright, evocative cedar notes, long finish. More please! @Recipe, Newberg OR

Delicious stuff. Mostly Mando, blended with Monastrell and Garnacha Tintorera. Matured in large Tinaja Amphora, so no oak.

A very good wine with special characteristics due to its aging process (six months in clay amphorae instead of oak.) Red fruit, clay, fresh herbs, and flint, flint, flint. Decanting a must - necessary to bring out the tobacco and menthol notes. Drinks well above its price point.
