"Blackberries, brambleberries, coconut, potpourri and dried herbs on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, dry tannins and wild, herbal character. 70% garnacha tintorera and 30% monastrell. Vegan. Drink now."
Wine Advocate, 90 Points
"The 2020 Laya is balanced, harmonious and serious, and the vintage seems to have absorbed the oak quite nicely. This is always produced with 70% Garnacha Tintorera and 30% Monastrell. It fermented in stainless steel vats with neutral yeasts, with malolactic in barrel, where the wine matured for four months. 360,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2021."
Winemaker Notes:
"Intensely colored, rich, savory, wine with aromas of brooding black fruits, licorice, espresso, and pepper. State vineyards located between 2,300 and 3,300 feet above sea level on poor, sandy soils rich in limestone. Vineyards are dry-farmed, without the use of pesticides or herbicides, and the grapes are hand harvested. The wine ferments in stainless steel and then ages for 4 months in French oak barrels."
Alcohol: 14.5%
Dry farmed.
