Notes

"This is the first release of Atalaya. The 2007 Atalaya is a blend ofMonastrell, Garnacha Tintorera, and other red grapes. The wine was agedfor eight months in French and American oak. This purple-colored winehas an expressive bouquet of violets, spice box, leather, game,blueberry, and black cherry. On the palate it comes off as borderlinekinky and definitely sexy with lots of easy-going flavor, superb depth,complexity, and a 45-second finish. Although it can be enjoyed now, itwill evolve for another 2-3 years.-Jay Miller."
"Inky purple. Spicy dark berries andcherry on the nose, with strong black cardamom and cumin qualities.Candied blackberry and rose flavors are gently firmed by soft tanninsand pick up a peppery note with air. Suave and immediately accessible,with very good finishing sweetness and cling. This is a first releasefrom a winery jointly owned by the Gil family of Jumilla and importerJorge Ordonez."
