Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,
So it's my understanding that we have been doing too many French wines for the vintage service lately. Just wanted to say It's not our fault if they are so good. But we have looked up and down the wine map for our customers and found a gem right next door in Spain. The Triton winery is has been really great for us in the past and they have come out with a phenomenal 100% mencia grape wine once again.
Bodegas Triton Avante 2009-
The 2009 Avante is 100% Mencia sourced from multiple vineyards with an average age of 43 years. The wine was aged in both stainless steel (30%) and French oak (70%) for 5 months. It offers up notes of earthy minerals, a hint of balsamic, black cherries, and violets leading to a nicely proportioned, sweetly fruited, savory red with excellent volume and length. It is an outstanding value for drinking over the next 4-5 years.
