This wine is imported by Elliot Bay
Distributing, of Seattle, and is one of the many great wines exported from Spain by Jorge Ordonez. He is perhaps the most influential exporter of Spanish wines to emerge in the last few decades, tapping into the quality and value of the less-traveled regions of Spain such as Toro, Campo de Borja, Montsant, and Jumilla, as well as the Ribera del Duero, Rioja, and Priorat. From the ultra-expensive to the great values he has discovered and facilitated the revival of some tremendous old-vine Grenache (Garnacha) and Tempranillo vineyards that had laid dormant or neglected for decades. As a result, there is now an amazing resurgence of Spanish wine in the international marketplace. This red table wine is produced by Bodegas Borsao in the Borja region of Spain. This Borsao is a blend of 75% Garnacha, 25% Tempranillo and has a deep ruby color. Aromas of fresh black berries and licorice jump out of the glass. This is a medium bodied wine that has rich flavors of ripe berries, coffee, plum, wet stones and baking spice. There is nice acidity and smooth tannins that round off the finish. Definitely more “New World, than Old World, this wine represent another great value from Spain that can be found in the Seattle area for under $8.
