Staff Pick Notes

Fento means fern, and apparently the pristine enviorn of Spanish Galicia gets likened to the Garden of Eden. I just like saying Fento. It reminds me of Fenti, like Rihanna, the pop star. Luckily I can tie this whole association together by saying this wine is extremely pretty, like Rihanna, and full of primary beauty like...a fern? Fento Tinto is from a new family-run winemaking operation in aforementioned Galicia. What I admire is their position to champion the grapes native to the region, a few I hadn't heard of before. Whatever the case, this blend of Souson, Espadeiro, Mencia, Pedral, (wait there's more?) Brancellao, and Caino Tinto is so amazing. Intoxicating florals and sweet-tart aromatic enticement. Maybe a little candied violets & flower stems, gooey brandied cherries but once you sip, a tart surprise. Rihanna would love this.
