Alder Springs Vineyard

Mendocino Mencia

Gagnon-Kennedy Vineyards Alder Springs Vineyard Mencia, hailing from the picturesque Mendocino region, offers a scintillating introduction to this underappreciated varietal. Mencia delights with a full-bodied sensation and a bright acidity that enlivens the palate. The striking, deep red hue hints at an intense burst of vibrant and prominent fruit flavors, primarily red berries and dark cherries, with a subtle whisper of floral and earthy undertones. You'll notice finely structured tannins that lend a disciplined yet gentle grip, harmonizing beautifully with the wine's pronounced fruit intensity. This handcrafted gem from Mendocino brilliantly showcases the unique characteristics of Mencia while reflecting the superb winemaking traditions and exceptional microclimate of the Alder Springs Vineyard. An award-winning choice for those exploring new territories in red wine.
