Pagos del Moncayo 2009 Syrah (Campo de Borja)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This varietal Syrah from the land of Garnacha is downright superb, and for $30 it qualifies as an outstanding value. Black cherry and ripe berry aromas are big and inviting, while the palate is thick, layered and still racy due to fine acidity. Flavors of blackberry, chocolate, vanilla and baking spice run for miles on the generous finish. Drink now–2016.

Alto Moncayo 2008 Garnacha (Campo de Borja)
- Editors' Choice

Gets out of the blocks with massive cedar, balsamic, tobacco and bold berry aromas. It’s super rich and thorough in the mouth, with excellent balance for a 16% ABV Garnacha. Flavors of roasted black fruits, coconut, coffee and mocha are giant; finishes even more oaky and barrel-driven, with vanilla, coconut and toast flavors. Drink now through the winter of 2013.

Alto Moncayo 2007 Garnacha (Campo de Borja)
- $45
Excellent Garnacha in very modern dressing. The nose is sweet, candied, lightly baked and rich, with hints of prune, coconut and fine aged cheese. The palate is smooth and deep, with blackberry, molasses and licorice flavors. Sturdy and studly wine, with weight and only a pinch of heat and bite. Six hundred cases produced; drink now–2012.

Alto Moncayo 2008 Veraton Garnacha (Campo de Borja)

Smoky, peppery and tight on the nose, with leather and dark fruit aromas. The palate is chewy and dense, with syrupy richness and sweet flavors of ripe blackberry, toast, coffee, mocha and chocolate. Big and round on the finish; rock solid and seriously built. Drink now through 2013.

Alto Moncayo 2009 Aquilon Garnacha (Campo de Borja)
- $155
Veteran winemaker Joel Aiken marches to a different beat from today’s cult style, reverting to an older expression of Napa Valley Cabernet. This one is bone dry, tannic and tightly wound in acids. It will not offer much pleasure now, even after decanting. It needs to be aged, and judging by the intense core of blackberries, cherries and minerals, it will easily…

Borsao 2000 Tres Picos Garnacha (Campo de Borja)
- Best Buy
- $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…

Alto Moncayo 2007 Veraton Garnacha (Campo de Borja)
- $28
Smoky, roasted and spicy on the nose, with berry fruit, licorice and black pepper scents. Definitely a warm, ripe, chunky wine with smooth blackberry, chocolate and mocha flavors. Big and with plenty of oak, but the integration and overall balance are commendable. Best now through 2012.
