The red wine Enrique Mendoza Reserva Alicante DO Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz, vintage 2022 from the winery Bodegas Enrique Mendoza has been rated in 2026 by Ulrich Sautter with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz from the region Alicante in Spain.
The aroma combines toasty new oak with spicy varietal fruit, hints of blackcurrant, mulberry, menthol, and mint. The palate has a creamy foundation and is filled with dense, fine-grained, very well-ripened tannins. Despite a certain fullness, the wine remains juicy and effortless, even coming across as quite elegant. Very good length, further potential.
