Enrique Mendoza Spanish Red
A Spanish red we keep a bottle or two of in Commack.
The story behind Enrique Mendoza
Spanish red covers a lot of ground, from bright young Tempranillo to structured Reservas aged before release. This bottle, the Enrique Mendoza Santa Rosa Reserva, comes from the Alicante area on the eastern coast, where Monastrell and other warm climate grapes give dense, dark fruit with a savory edge. Reserva means it saw real barrel and bottle age before it reached us.
We stock just a bottle or two at the Commack shop, so it is a small, hand picked find rather than a shelf filler.

Which Enrique Mendoza is right for you?
The Enrique Mendoza Santa Rosa Reserva is priced at $29.99 for the 750mL bottle, which is fair money for a Reserva that spent time in barrel and bottle before release. We only have a bottle or two, so if it shows as out of stock, call the shop at (631) 343-7200 and we can tell you when more lands.
Dark fruit and structure stand up to lamb or beef without overpowering the table.
A small production Spanish Reserva worth trying if you usually stay in Rioja.
