I think this is a made-up name for another bottling from the San Gregorio co-op that operates in this region. I'm sure I've seen that name on another Calatayud-region Garnacha in the past.
Anyway, this is another winner. I love the Grenaches (a/k/a Garnachas) from Calatayud. At their best, they have a spicy, piercing raspberry fruitiness and an intense rock-dusty mineraliness -- and this one is a textbook example. Great balance, persistence, and character for the price. Very food-flexible. 88. Was $9.99 at Central Market. UPDATE (3/09/07): I was right. The other label this co-op uses is Tres Ojos, the 2003 of which I previously reviewed here.
