The 2013 Coto de Hayas Garnacha Centenaria is produced from the grapes from two very old, head pruned vineyards on slate and red earth terraces on the slopes of the Cordillera Ibérica aged in barriques for four months including malolactic fermentation. It has a very commercial, attractive profile, combining ripe almost raisin-like notes of very ripe plums with something fresher, perhaps balsamic and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with very polished tannins and good acidity. Pleasant, easy to drink and very good value. This is very young, you can almost feel the fresh fruit. 50,000 bottles produced.

This expressive red delivers bright, sweet flavors of ripe strawberry, raspberry and cherry, with coconut and tangerine accents. Light tannins support a velvety texture, and citrusy acidity keeps this focused. A fruit-driven modern style. Better than previously reviewed. Drink now through 2019. 3,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Campo de Borja Select to Add
