Taste: Bold, with spicy, peppery fruit, big structure, and meaty, leathery notes, this wine has fantastic personality and outstanding cellar potential. Winemaker Sam said that this wine is as good as—if not better than—most $60 bottles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape he has tasted.
We have only 150 cases of this wine, so grab it today and, if possible, decant for a good hour before drinking.
Cameron Confidential: We have been doing business with our friends in Campo de Borja in Spain for a couple of years now, starting with Lot 37 Rosé and most recently with Lot 98 GSM and our Flying Winemaker Tempranillo (which is drinking fabulously right now). Last year they sent us a sample of their reserve wine (which blew us away) and then offered to bottle up the 2007 reservas for us. Now, marketing a $20 Garnacha (aka Grenache, the signature grape of Campo de Borja) is not a task we take lightly, especially when the stuff is at the upper end of our price spectrum, but this wine was so good we had to pull the trigger. We bought two small lots, the first of which is Lot 128 2007 Campo de Borja Garnacha.
