Poberaj Columbia Valley Mencia R 2022 robola 96 points Decanter

96 points Decanter

Fragrant notes of redcurrant jelly

The aroma of great Chenin is always maddeningly complex

Someone threw in a scoop of blackberry jam too

but all their vineyards are still hand harvested and all their ferments use native yeast

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.
