for this region?

 

This region, located in the southwest of the Aragon near Zaragoza has evolved from being mainly a bulk wine-producing area to one with more of a distinguished association. The combination of hot and dry summers with high altitude vineyards ensures wines rich in character but without excessive alcohol content. 
 
The majority of these big, bold wines are produced from Garnacha. The region is known for using fruit from older vines and the local wine authority, the Consejo Regulador, has set quality standards based on vine age. Those grown from vines 50 years old or older are given the classification “Calatayud Superior” and are highly sought-after, commanding top prices. 
 
Rosados from Garnacha are also quite common. Other grapes grown in Calatayud are Tempranillo and Mazuelo. Some whites are produced from Viura (Macabeo), Malvasia and Chardonnay.

This wine is a steal. It is a very refined bottle and is very plush. It is medium body and exibits ripe rasberry flavors with hints of vanilla and finishes with a smooth follow through. This would be a great deal at $15 let alone $7.

This wine may be light bodied, but is not light on taste. Aromatic cassis, tea leaf and hints of leather. The moderate finish adds distinct notes of black pepper. This was a very tasty and refreshing wine.

Jimmy Cocktail

Upon first glance, you see there is something a touch different about this wine. It is a deep garnet in color, something not typical in wines made from the Grenache grape. It has a deep, earthy nose resplendent with plums and blackberry with just the b...

This is a very, very crazy value from Spain. Sourced from 75 year old Garnacha vines, this wine has a nice huckleberry nose with assorted black fruit. Nice, medium length with considerable silkiness. If you like Spanish Garnacha but don't like getti...

Sweet and fruity, full-flavored and has an easy hand with the sulfites. No nasty notes. Very drinkable, and worth the bargain price.

This wine had great combinations right out of the gate, and got even better in time after breathing a bit. I am a fan. Berries and luscious fruit combined with leather and spice, with vanilla beans and a hint of toffee in the finish. Its a pretty ...

Along with the ripe fruit I got lots of smoke and meaty notes from this bottle. It was very unique and welcome change up.

This wine has a lovely deep ruby color in the glass, and a nose that is a wonderful blend of jammy fruit, black cherries, currant, anise and somewhat of a sour twang, suggesting that the sweet fruit might be well balanced by acidity. The taste is an e...
