Alvarez de Toledo Mencia Roble 2021

"Old Vine Red is a proprietary red wine made to replicate the field blends of many of the old vineyards across California. Predominantly comprised of Zinfandel, Old Vine Red combines pure fruit, a supple mouth feel and a rich, solid structure. A groundbreaking combination of varietals from multiple vintages, this wine has blazed the path for red blends for decades." —winemaker

"At the time of release, this showed a deep purple red with crisp raspberry aromas. On the palate, similar aromas came through followed by layers of spiciness, a firm but velvety mouthfeel and a long clean finish. One of those not so frequent examples of a Crianza that will improve for the next 5 to 7 years" —winemaker

"At the time of release, this wine showed a bright crimson red colour. On the nose, aromas of sweet ripe fruit and delicate notes of smokiness. On the palate, tastes of cherry, plum and blackberries combined with gentle clean aromas of oak. Elegant mouthfeel, a full body and a fresh and fruity aftertaste. This wine still has plenty of life in it and should drink very well for the next 10-15 years." —winemaker

Blend: Tempranillo 80%, Garnacha 5%, Mazuelo and Graciano 15%

"Pale yellow color. Medium aromatic intensity on the nose with aromas of spring flowers intertwined with pome fruit, pineapple and banana. A smooth and lively entry on the palate. The mid-palate is marked by the typical acidity of the wine. A fruity and long aftertaste, perfectly balanced, making it an elegant, fine and at the same time cheerful wine." —winemaker
