"The 2018 Doña Mencia de Los Andes from Los Chacayes, Uco Valley was aged in barrels for 18 months. The nose offers red fruit such as sweet and sour cherries. Oaky hints are present, including cedar and sweet spices. It offers a voluminous palate with a gentle feel, delicate flavor, firm tannins, and an energetic, fruity kick of alcohol at the end. Delivers good character for a light wine. "
