($20, Eric Solomon Selections):  Bierzo is an up and coming DO in the northwestern part of Spain where the Mencia grape reigns.  Made entirely from Mencia, this wine delivers a marvelous combination of earth, herbs and fruit, supported nicely by moderate tannins. Black cherry-like acidity completes the balanced picture, making for a lovely sweet/savory combination. 89 Michael Apstein Apr 13, 2010
