Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 88 Points
Ruby-red. Cherry-vanilla and raspberry preserves on the nose. Sexy, palate-coating red fruit flavors become smokier and sweeter with air, picking up a floral quality and dusty tannins. Finishes on a sweet raspberry note. This is in its drinking window now.
-Josh Raynolds, Sep/Oct 10

 

Tasting Notes
Bright red. Lively raspberry, strawberry, cola and earthier sassafras aromas, with a subtle note of fresh herbs. Lush and silky, with jammy red berry flavors building and deepening through the finish. Finishes with a persistent, almost sweet raspberry quality that's quite seductive.

 

The Winery

Campo de Borja is a transitional area among the mountains of the Sistema Ibérico in the Ebro Valley. The setting is unique, with the impressive mountains of the Moncayo National Park in the background. The Quo vineyards extend onto the slopes of the nearby mountains, with vines planted between 1000 and 2000 feet.

 

The vineyards have a continental climate influenced by the Atlantic ocean in winter and by the Mediterranean in summer. The soil is brown-calcareous, with medium amounts of stones and good drainage. In the vineyards closer to the Moncayo mountains, the soil is clay-ferrous and rocky. The temperature contrasts between day and night, and among the seasons, are extreme. Rainfall is rare, with yearly averages between 350 mm in the low areas and reaching to about 450 mm in higher areas.

 

Most of the grapes are hand-picked. The fermentation takes place in glass lined cement tanks, only native yeasts are used.
