The Bodegas Alto Moncayo, along with its sister property El Nido in Jumilla, combines the talents of local growers and winemakers with Australia’s super-star winemaker, Chris Ringland. Read More...
The partnership has the ability to cherry-pick the best parcels of old vine Garnacha from Borsao’s extensive holdings in the region, nearly 2,000 acres. “Veraton” is a hedonistic wine. Look for a nose of incredible intensity showing Asian five spice powder, ginger, boysenberry, cedar and toasty oak. The palate fills out with luscious fruit that can only be described as a “bowl full of black cherries.” The exotic spiciness of the nose also follows through on the palate with hints of cardamom, cinnamon and brown sugar. There is a thread of acidity enlivening it all thanks to the high-altitude of Moncayo's range. Don’t wait for the score on this one.

some of the most highly sought after wines in the world. The vineyards sit atop some of the most unique soils of iron rich red clay and red slate mixed. A unique spot with 125-year-old, ungrafted vines that deliver an extremely low production. The Borsao folks own more than 3,600 acres of vines in the Spanish Pyrenees. With partners like that, it is easy to find a few special parcels to make 600-800 cases a year of Alto Moncayo and Veraton. Don't wait for the score on this one!

Borsao's top end wine, Tres Picos Garnacha, is a bit above the ten dollar price point Parker Tweets about, but it's always impressive. The 2010 Tres Picos is one of those MORE is MORE Read More...
vintages -- more color and extract, more black fruit, more spice and depth. It's appealing when the bottle is first opened, but splash it around in a carafe for a few minutes to see all the layers in there fullest. The 2010 Tres Picos has not been rated yet, but here is the recent track record from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -- We think it's also "F*@$%^@ unreal" for the money: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 vintages all scored 91 points and the 2009 vintage scored 92 points.
We are not huge followers of Twitter but we saw this mildly profane Tweet from the World's most respected wine critic and we just had to pass it on: “Robert M Parker, Jr ?@RobertMParkerJr - buy Bodegas Borsao 2010s and 2011s-all from Campo de Borja-all under $10,which is F*@$%^@ unreal for such quality-red, white, and rose."

This is one of those wines that most people, upon tasting, would overshoot the price point by quite a bit. It's really fantastic. 100% Grenache from 100-year-old vines, the complexity Read More...
and quality of this wine go way above and beyond the entry fee. The nose is a gorgeous melding of earth, minerality, root beer and sassafras notes, red plum and sweet cherry fruit and a good measure of smoky charcuterie. The lush, viscous palate is balanced by appropriate tannins. The fruit is forward and ripe as black cherries and ripe plum take the spotlight with a supporting cast of light spice and minerality lending their voices to the chorus.
WINE SPECTATOR 91 POINTS - This fleshy red delivers a rich core of blackberry and blueberry compote, accented by toasty vanilla, sweet licorice and cinnamon spice. Well-integrated tannins give this backbone. A bold, modern style. Drink now through 2017. 2,000 cases imported. –TM

Borsao's wines have been a corner stone of our Spanish section for years and years. Familiarity sometimes means we don't taste these wines as often as we should. It's true! Just grab Read More...
a glass of Borsao's $5.98 Vina Borgia Garnacha, it is probably the best wine for the money on the planet. The color is a rich dark purple. Warm spices enveloped in blackberry and blueberry. The richness and spice carries through on the palate as the darker fruit tones showing on the nose are brightened by notes of red cherry and pomegranate. The folks at Borsao own nearly 3 thousand acres in Campo de Borja, roughly three quarters of the appellation. This rocky zone in the foothills of the Pyrenees is one of the original homes of the Garnache grape. There is an old church on the property that has records of Garnache plantings that go back to the 900's...
