Dry on the palate with with medium acidity.
Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and cherries.
Not very complex on the nose, but very nice on the palate.

Great taste for good price.
Smell full of cranberries and roses, sweet taste in the beginning with minor notes of acid.
Highly recommended with fruits and cheese. — 8 years ago
The wine guy at my liquor store recommended this as a less expensive but drinkable wine..... He was right... AGAIN! It also comes in a box. He says he has sold this wine for nearly 30 years. Very consistent quality. — 8 years ago
A joint venture of Jorge Ordonez, Bodegas Borsao and Chris Ringland, located in the town of Bulbuente (Zaragoza) Spain. Alto Moncayo is the flagship of the winery. A single-grape variety of Garnacha, from vines between 40 and 70 years old, aged in new barrels for 20 months. Bold aromas of fruit and spice. On the palate black fruit flavors, rich and full-bodied, with complex spice. Fine tannins, savory, good structure ending with a smoky character. Very nice! — 4 years ago

(16.5/20) Насыщенный рубиновый цвет, непрозрачное. Концентрированный аромат чернослива, сушеного инжира и изюма. Довольно высокая кислотность, шелковистые танины. Во вкусе чернослив. Долгое послевкусие. Хороший баланс и отличная концентрация во вкусе и в аромате, не хватает лишь сложности. — 8 years ago
