THE MOST AMAZING $6.99 RED WINE WE HAVE EVER TASTED.

From Juan Gil, producer of the incredible and famous El Nido Clio and Can Blau wines 

"Spicy cherry and black raspberry on the fragrant, spice-accented nose, with complicating notes of black pepper and smoky oak. Chewy, taut dark berry flavors show very good depth...This wine offers outstanding value." 

-Stephen Tanzer, 89 Points

"...creamier with lifted dark plum scents. The palate is medium-bodied with good acidity, the 2011 more elegant and refined than the previous vintage, blessed with fine tannins and tension towards the dark plum and boysenberry finish. Drink 2014-2018."

-Robert Parker, 89 Points

2011 Bodegas Atalaya "Laya"

Grenache-Mourvedre

 

***BREAKING NEWS*** 

This is completely unprecedented.  We have literally tasted thousands of wines over the years, but have never, EVER tasted ANY $6.99 red that can come anywhere close to this level of quality.  Even Robert Parker's review states an aging curve of 2014-2018... do you know of any $6.99 reds that can last another five years??? 

As unbelievable as that is, that's exactly what we have today: a mind-boggling value that is not to be missed.  Bodegas Atalaya is brought to you by the venerable Juan Gil -- the champion Jumilla producer of the very famous El Nido wines which have scored 96~99 points for almost a decade.

The 2011 Bodegas Atalaya "Laya" is made of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvedre and is aged in French oak for four months.  This prodigy is a rich 14% alcohol and will beat out most wines costing three times as much.

Please don't miss this!  You'll want to secure a few cases before this is wiped out by the frenzy.

Cheers and good luck,

-The Artisan Wine Hunters

2011 Bodegas Atalaya "Laya"

Grenache-Mourvedre

 

89 Points - Stephen Tanzer:

 

"Bright violet color. Spicy cherry and black raspberry on the fragrant, spice-accented nose, with complicating notes of black pepper and smoky oak. Chewy, taut dark berry flavors show very good depth and appealing sweetness. Tannins build on the juicy, spice-accented finish, which is sharply focused and nicely persistent. This wine offers outstanding value." - Josh Raynolds (Sep '12)

 

89 Points - Robert Parker:

 

"The 2011 Laya does not own quite the same clarity on the nose as the 2010; it is a little creamier with lifted dark plum scents. The palate is medium-bodied with good acidity, the 2011 more elegant and refined than the previous vintage, blessed with fine tannins and tension towards the dark plum and boysenberry finish. Overall, this should turn out to be the better wine. Drink 2014-2018." - Neal Martin (Feb '13)
