Alidis Tinto 6 Meses en Barrica 2012

Viña Mambrilla is a small, family-run estate whose wines offer superb value and quality at all price points. The biodynamically farmed 6 Meses en Barrica is their entry-level wine, and though the 2012 has not yet been reviewed, the 2011 vintage earned a rating of 91 points from erobertparker.com. The nose here offers a lifted floral note along with red fruit, cherry, chocolate and spice. Expressive with good weight and presence, it is well balanced with chewy structured tannins and a touch of spice on the finish. (VINTAGES panel, June 2014)
