2016 Más Que Vinos "Ercavio" Tempranillo Roble Tierra de Castilla

Wine Advocate
Review Date: 04/2019The red Cencibel 2016 Ercavio Roble was produced with pure Cencibel from old head-pruned vines that are farmed organically. It fermented in stainless steel with a shortish maceration and matured in used French oak barrels for six months. It has a fruit-driven nose with a sweet-spice touch. This was the first wine they started producing in 1999, and it's still their workhorse 20 years later. The palate has fine-grained tannins, with good weight and a velvety polished mouthfeel. There is a pleasant bitterness in the finish. This is textbook Cencibel from La Mancha. Polished and ready. (LG) 90+

Notes
In La Mancha, Ercavio clearly rules the roost in the production of top quality Tempranillo, known locally as "Cencibel." In this huge wine production area where volume producers far outnumber quality ones, Ercavio is a notable exception, focusing on careful viticulture and time tested, artisanal methods including ageing in amphora, to produce genuinely interesting, delicious, well-priced wines that immediately impress for their intensity of flavor and terrific value.
