Bodegas Atalaya Laya


•Name: Bodegas Atalaya Laya
•Variety: Granacha and monastrell

 •Region: Almansa
•Country: Spain
•Year: 2013
•Price: $8.95
•Review: "88 Points – Stephen Tanzer
A blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera, a.k.a. Alicante Bouschet, and 30% Monastrell; fermented in stainless steel, followed by four months in French oak.  Bright purple.  Cassis, blueberry, pungent herbs and mocha on the nose.  Smooth and open-knit on the palate, displaying fresh cherry and dark berry qualities and a hint of black pepper.  Finishes with gripping tannins and good length, leaving a subtle floral note behind." - Vintage Cellar

•Very dry red wine.  It had a cherry red mouth feel which was very tannic  going down.  I would have preferred this with a nice bold cheese. Decent for the price.
