The 2010 Alaya is from Garnacha planted at 1,000 meters in Almansa and is raised in new French and American oak for 15 months. It has a lifted bouquet of blackberries, violets and vanilla. The palate is almost honeyed and viscous in texture, unashamedly hedonistic with a touch of eau de vie on the blockbuster finish. If you love hedonistic wines, then you will adore this wine, although if truth is told, I could not drink more than a glass.

This smooth, creamy red delivers supple tannins and fine-grained texture, leading to deep notes of sweet smoke and ripe black cherry, along with layers of crème de cassis, date, mint, graphite and hints of vanilla bean and eucalyptus. Dense and focused, so give this some time to open up. Garnacha Tintorera. Best from 2014 through 2022. 100 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Spain / Almansa Select to Add
