4 | Wine | What's On Sale, Campo de Borja

"Possibly the single greatest dry red wine value in the world, this is an unbelievable wine. And don’t complain that you can’t find any, as there are 15,000 cases available, and any wine retailer worth his weight should be stockpiling this wine next to the cash register. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by classic aromas of kirsch liqueur intermixed with raspberries, loamy soil and flowers. This medium to full-bodied wine possesses remarkable depth, an expansive texture and wonderful freshness as well as purity. On taste alone, this beauty could easily sell for $30-50 a bottle."

"No oak is used in this totally naked red. It emphasizes minerality and fruit, as evidenced by its crushed chalk-like notes intermixed with sweet kirsch, lavender and licorice. This fresh, medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, hedonistic as well as intellectually challenging wine should drink well for 2-3 years." -Robert Parker

"Iridescent to the eye, with savory red orchard fruit on the nose. On the palate wild strawberries and tart cherries with just a hint of tangerine. Follows with a long mineral driven finish. An upstart of a rose that would sell for double the cost were it from Provence. Irresistible, and a no-brainer of a value."

"This is always one of my favorite wines when I'm looking for a bit of a new world style from Spain. Plum, black raspberry, sweet cedar, brown sugar and Asian spice on the nose which is followed by deep plum and black cherry flavors surrounded by velvety tannins and a rich lengthy finish." - Steve Reiter, Binny's Glen Ellyn
