Pagos del Moncayo 2008 Garnacha (Campo de Borja)
- $30
Immediately this wine stands out from most Aragón-region Garnachas. It’s deep and poised, with smoky blackberry aromas. The palate is deftly woven, saturated and meaty but also creamy and smooth, with mocha and controlled tannins. Freshness is not lost despite its modern, clean power. Drink now through 2013.

Pagos del Moncayo 2009 Garnacha (Campo de Borja)
- $15
A powerful specimen that plows straight ahead on the bouquet, dealing out whiffs of rubber, smoke and hickory along the way. Meaty feeling and deep, with roasted blackberry, woodspice and bitter chocolate flavors. Dark and chocolaty on the finish, with a note of bacon.

Pagos del Moncayo 2008 Garnacha-Syrah (Campo de Borja)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
A round, full specimen with mineral-laden raspberry aromas and a fresh but serious palate of berry, cherry cough drop and fine rubber. There’s a distinct creamy, oaky feel that’s confirmed by finishing flavors of vanilla, mocha and woodspice. A step up the ladder for Campo de Borja.

Pagos del Moncayo 2008 Tinto Joven Garnacha-Syrah (Campo de Borja)
- $17
Piercing to start, with leathery, bacony and campfire aromas. Saturated, although healthy, if a bit hard and tannic. Flavors of bacon and clove are right up there with black fruit and syupy richness, and clove carries onto the finish. Needs time to breathe and unfold; 65% Garnacha and 35% Syrah.

Pagos del Moncayo 2010 Garnacha-Syrah (Campo de Borja)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Floral red berry aromas vie with red licorice and raspberry candy scents on what is basically a sweet-smelling nose. Fairly dense and concentrated in the mouth, but narrow, with cherry and berry flavors. Finishes medicinal and slightly herbal.
