spicy. floral. juicy. a delicious plush spanish red.
some words from Mike Bennie on Mencia:
“All the Bloomfield wines seem to burst forth with great energy and freshness. No slouch here.
You could say the light sizzle of barely there fizziness could turn some off, but it seems to pop the variety, give crunch and chomp, lift the wild raspberry, tart cherry, Campari and sweet spice characters and drive home the notion that the wine is for thirst-slaking good times and probably better even with a light chill. That being said, there’s a sheath of grippy tannin, a sense of that word ‘structure’, a touch of charismatic smokiness and warm slate minerality, lots of character in fruit, spice, savoury characters – the notion is that its proper stuff, is the gist.”
