Coto de Hayas 2007 Crianza Tempranillo-Garnacha (Campo de Borja)
- Best Buy
- $10
Not complex but if you’re looking for size, red fruit flavors and balance, it has that. The nose shows compost and horse hide but for the most part it’s fruity and welcoming. The mouth is fresh and a bit sheer, with direct berry, plum and creamy flavors. Finishes smooth for a $10 Tempranillo-Garnacha blend.

Caño 2009 Tempranillo-Garnacha (Toro)
- Best Buy
- $8
The quality of the 2009 vintage is reflected in this value-priced Toro that’s full and medicinal but also balanced and rewarding. Flavors of medicinal red-berry fruit are mixed with thicker, chocolaty notes, while the finish is bold, grabby and solid. A blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha.

Red Guitar 2005 Old Vine Tempranillo-Garnacha (Navarra)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
The catchy label suggests Miró and the wine is more than satisfactory. In fact, the Tempranillo and Garnacha in the blend work well together, resulting in zesty cherry flavors that properly back up the sweet, mildly spicy bouquet. Fresh and a touch peppery. Imported by Cellar Door.

Red Guitar 2006 Old Vine Tempranillo-Garnacha (Navarra)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
A little spice and cured meat (salami) get this young and easy red going. The blend is common for Navarra, and this is a jammy, mildly candied wine with light strawberry and plum flavors touched up by a dollop of sweetness. Slightly creamy on the palate and finish, but healthy as a whole.
