"From the gentle slopes of Bierzo, this 100 percent mencias offers an impressive balance of softly ripe red cherry flavors, vibrant acidity and warm alcohol. It’s round and rich, with a sweet, pleasant finish." 91 pts - Best Value and Top 100 Value of 2006, Wine & Spirits Magazine, Issue 255, October '06

"Here’s a really good, young Mencia that is sure to win you over. The nose is fully ripe and loaded with pure berry aromas. The juicy mouth is warm and meaty, with pure fruit and chewy tannins. Luna Beberide’s Mencia pinpoints the essence of modern Bierzo." 90pts - Best Buy, The Wine Enthusiast, Issue 2009, August '07.

"The 2005 Luna Beberide Mencia (100% varietal) is a worthy successor to the 2004 and a top value in quality Bierzo. Dark ruby-colored, it exhibits a fragrant nose of crushed flowers (violets), mineral, and blueberry. This is followed by an elegant, medium-bodied wine with a velvety palate-feel, plenty of spicy blue fruits, and light, well-integrated tannin. Drink this well-made wine over the next 1-2 years."  Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Feb. 2007.

"Smooth and stylish with delicious red and black fruit flavors and loads of graphite terroir. Reminiscent of a Cabernet Franc-based Chinon or Bourgueil. Grilled meat; goat cheese; grilled octopus. Serve Now." Sante Magazine, Issue 106, September '06
