Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The fruit-driven and straightforward 2021 Baltos Mencía is a light red that has 13.5% alcohol and is fresh and easy to drink, with moderate ripeness and oak. It matured in French and American oak barrels for six months. It is varietal and has a commercial profile. 100,000 bottles produced.
