Campo de Borja

Coto de Hayas Tinto 2006

We are coming into BBQ season at the moment and this a good wine to kick things off.  Grab some lamb chops and a bottle of this to kick off a quiet night at home mid week.  Maybe some a salad if you want to be healthy.  This is a joven wine, made mostly from Garnacha but with a bit of tempranillo, syrah and cabernet thrown in for good measure.

Quite dark in the glass, ruby out on the rim.  Aromas of sunny black and red berries, mostly raspberries with some raspberry leaves and pepper.  Fairly smooth, firmly in the middle weight class with some light tannins.  Raspberries, a bit of mineral and some herbs.  Good length on the finish.  Good BBQ fare.  86 Pts.
