Borsao 2000 Tres Picos Garnacha (Campo de Borja)

Best Buy

Price $13

Every now and then a knockout wine comes along that doesn’t cost a fortune, like this star. Full, ripe fruit and deftly used oak team up to provide an inviting nose and compelling palate. The strength and depth of the fruit is impressive—it just continues to open and shine, as opposed to being embalmed in oak. Keeps you wanting more, right through the satisfying… — M.M. (4/1/2002)

Borsao 2008 Tres Picos Garnacha (Campo de Borja)

Price $17

Tres Picos, or Three Peaks, ranks as a go-to wine for fans of round, smooth, slightly oaky reds. The bouquet is all mocha and smoky/oaky richness, while the sticky, rich palate deals blackberry and chewy, rooty medicinality. Oaky and spicy late, with licorice and warmth. The best thing is that it’s not heavy or overextracted despite being youthful and modern in style. — M.S. (10/1/2010)

Borsao 2004 Tres Picos Garnacha (Campo de Borja)

Best Buy

Price $12

For several years running this Garnacha from the Borsao winery has been popular among those seeking size, balance and affordability. The 2004 is a bit oaky and modern, but with its bacon, leather and dark-berry aromas and flavors it’ll win you over. Lush enough but with good spine. — M.S. (4/1/2007)

Borsao 2008 Monte Oton Garnacha (Campo de Borja)

Best Buy

Price $7

On the spot and sweet, with black cherry and roundness on the nose. Plays above its price league via ripe plum and berry flavors, bounce, body and build. Whole, concentrated and shows good structure, depth and character. About as good as inexpensive Garnacha gets. — M.S. (4/1/2010)

Borsao 2009 Tres Picos Garnacha (Campo de Borja)

Online Exclusive

Price $17

Heavy doses of char, rubber, graphite and hickory dance with black fruit aromas. Tastes big, rich, resiny and lemony, with a ton of barrel action forcing up chocolate, resin and dark spice flavors. Warm and long on the finish, with power to spare. 100% Garnacha. — M.S. (12/15/2011)

Borsao 2007 Crianza Selección Red (Campo de Borja)

Price $16

This is a really good example of a blended wine from Aragón. It’s 50% Garnacha with 25% each Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, and thus it is more complex and interesting than your run-of-the-mill varietal Grenache. Mellow aromas of ripe fruit and spice open things up, followed by balanced flavors of berry fruits, vanilla and cream. Easygoing and highly… — M.S. (10/1/2010)

Borsao 2009 Red (Campo de Borja)

Best Buy

Price $8

A delicious wine and very much the model for value in Spanish Garnacha. That this has 25% Tempranillo only seems to make it better; the nose is sweet but full and plummy. The palate is pure, flavorful and sweet, with baked cherry, earthiness and a hint of chocolate. A wine to buy in quantity, i.e. by the case. — M.S. (12/15/2010)

Borsao 2008 Red (Campo de Borja)

Best Buy

Price $8

Almost impossible to distinguish this nice and easy Garnacha from the winery’s Monte Oton label (also rated 89). Open berry and jam aromas keep it together, while the saturated, sweet blackberry palate is living proof of Campo de Borja’s sun and terroir. Ripe, deep and easy to enjoy. — M.S. (4/1/2010)
