Wine of the Week

Pittacum 2008 [Red]
Producer: Viñedos y Bodegas Pittacum
Region: DO Bierzo

An excellent example of a quality DO Bierzo red: 100% Mencía, aged 6 months in American oak barrels. A hearty, solid red that will only get better with a few more months of "bottle rest". Great value, will go really well with a grilled steak.

Deep, dark purple/red color. Ripe yet fresh berry fruit (blueberry/blackberry), smoke/peat on the nose & a hint of aromatic spice (bay leaf?). Medium bodied, silky smooth palate with nicely ripened tannins, and good length. A very good wine for the money.

Spanish Wine
A note to our readers:
I've used SRP, which is the normal price in Spain expressed in US dollars [Low=$5-9, Medium=$10-18, High=$19+]. The wines selected are usually moderately priced and generally exported around the world. Some exceptions happen...
