Tasting - Bodegas Atalaya Almansa Laya


Name: Bodegas Atalaya Almansa Laya
Variety: 70% Garnacha 30% Monastrell
Region: Almansa
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $12

Winery Review: Deep red cherry in color.  Elegant, fresh and complex nose that highlights ripe fruit and floral notes.  Nice and fresh on the palate, well-balanced with sweet but young tannins, a delicious mouthful sensation that lingers on the very long and smooth finish.

My Review: On the nose it was bold with hints of cherry, black cherry and flowers.  Cedar, smoky and creamy with a smooth finish.  I had this wine with cheese and crackers.  The food helped to round out and soften the flavors.
