El Escocés Volante 2007 Manga del Brujo Red (Calatayud)
- Online Exclusive
- $21
Full and clean, with a bright nose of cherry, plum and pepper. This is full-bodied, with extract and tannic bite. But the flavors of berry and plum are solid and round, while burnt-toast notes darken up the finish. Lots of snap and focus. Modern and ready to drink.

El Escocés Volante 2007 El Puño Bareknuckle Garnacha (Calatayud)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
This is Scottish winemaker Norrel Robertson’s unoaked, straightforward Garnacha. It has mildly stemmy, all-natural aromas followed by zesty red-fruit flavors, herbal accents and a quick, acid-washed palate and finish. There’s ample body and power, and fresh, candied red-fruit character.

El Escocés Volante 2007 La Multa La Revancha Garnacha (Calatayud)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Here’s a bright, forward, no-issues Garnacha that shows the upside of Calatayud and the grape in general. It’s a touch raw and racy, but otherwise it’s a nice wine with forward cherry flavors and a lightly charred, earthy finish. Pointed and racy, which is what you want from Spanish Garnacha.

El Escocés Volante 2007 El Puño Unfiltered Red Wine (Calatayud)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Purple in color, with extracted, rubbery, gaseous aromas that settle with time. More power than finesse here, with cheek-smacking, saturated fruit and a bit of spice. A bull of a wine with briary flavors that fade quickly on the finish. Only 300 cases made.

El Escocés Volante 2009 La Multa Old Vine Garnacha (Calatayud)
- $15
Mint and milk chocolate are the lead aromas, followed by cherry and herbal notes. The wine is basic, fresh and fruity, with choppy tannins, heat and lively red berry flavors with citrus undertones. Runs a bit rough and heady.
