Enrique Mendoza Estrecho 2012

This flavorful red is named after "El Estrecho de Pipa", which translates as “the Strait of Pipe," the area where the vineyards are situated, which has a reputation for creating red wines with a streak of slatey minerality. Made entirely from mature, hand-harvested Monastrell, fermented and aged for 12 months in French oak.

Bright ruby-red in color, Estrecho shows attractive aromas of red cherry, plum and wet slate. On the palate, the wine has refreshing acidity and bright fruit flavors.

A great match for spicy cured meats, seafood stews, or fritto misto.
