Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The young and fresh Mencía 2021 Ramón Valle has a moderate 13% alcohol and a juicy palate with soft tannins, making it approachable and easy to understand. It comes from different plots of old vines, mostly on clay and boulder soils, and it fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in used oak barrels for seven months. It's subtle and clean, varietal and aromatic, with floral and berry aromas and flavors and fine tannins balanced by nice freshness. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2023.
