Calatayud is a dynamic winegrowing region in Aragon in northeast Spain. This is arid country on either side of the Jalon River, and, as in much of central Spain, yields rarely rise above 1 ton/acre. The garnacha grape accounts for around two-thirds of Calatayud's production. Expect a dark and alluring nose of spice box, mineral, black cherry, and black raspberry. Smooth-textured, round, and with no hard edges, this tasty effort is designed for immediate gratification.
