| 75 | | | 87 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Achiving DO status in 1990, Calatayud is loated in western Aragón, the kingdom associated with famed Ferdinand. This full-bodied dry red wine is 100% old-vine Grenache, and shows a dark violet-tinged red color. Aromas are a little shy, but what's there is clean, fresh and fruit- Very fruit forward, the wine shows plums and dark fruits, while tannins are round and very well integrated. The palate is not especially complex, but certainly pleasing, and the finish is long and fruit-filled. "Cubero" is Spanish for “cooper” although these wines are unoaked. The bodega founded in 1881 on the edge of the town of Calatayud, features a state-of-the art facilitym with the best of technology and traditional family methods, Serve cool, about 65ºF/17ºC to showcase the fruit characters. Very fine value. Foods; really good with smoked purk butt and a slightly sweet/spicy tomato-based barbecue sauce (Johnny's Pride), pepper liver pàté; herb-crusted salami; grilled meats; roast duck; Korean or Chinese barbecue.
