The 2011 Penelope Sanchez is a blend of 85% Garnacha and 15% Syrah. It has a simple, clean, floral bouquet with lifted blueberry fruit, while the palate is smooth, clean and quaffable with oaky dark cherry and plum fruit that slip down the throat with ease.

The value-priced 2010 Penelope Sanchez Garnacha (85%) – Syrah (15%) is a tank fermented and aged cuvee that delivers a tasty mouthful of savory black cherry fruit in an easygoing, forward style. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Although it was only founded eight years ago, Pagos del Moncayo works exclusively with fruit over 80 years of age. Having just made my first trip to Campo de Borja in January, 2011, I can now see what makes that possible. It is a place that seemingly dropped off the planet nearly a century ago (after the vines were planted) and has seemingly only just been rediscovered in the past 10 years. Here old-vine Garnacha is King with bush vines that look like small trees planted on stony soil similar to, dare I say it, parts of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Importer: Axial Wines USA; www.axialvinos.com

The 2008 Penelope Sanchez is an unoaked cuvee of 85% Garnacha and 15% Syrah. Fragrant notes of game, smoke, and black cherry lead to a spicy, easy-going, pleasure-bent wine with no hard edges. Drink this tasty effort over the next three years. Importer: Axial Wines USA; www.axialvinos.com
