Alto Moncayo 2009 Moncayo – Grenache Red Wine
This wine is spectacular, and represents the perfect foil for grilled steak. Rich, full bodied and muscular, Alto Moncayo has riveting intensity and palate staining extract; this Spanish red is inky/purple, full-bodied, and rich. This pedal-to-the-metal offering should age handsomely for a decade.

Alto Moncayo 2004 Moncayo – Grenache Red Wine
“The estate’s mid-level effort is the fairly priced Alto Moncayo. This wine is spectacular, and represents the perfect foil for grilled steak. Even richer, fuller, and more muscular than the 2003, with riveting intensity and palate staining extract, the 2004 Alto Moncayo is inky/purple, full-bodied, and rich. This pedal-to-the-metal offering should age handsomely for a decade.”

Agly Brothers 2005 B Cotes du Roussillon – Rhone Blends Red Wine
Agly Brothers 2005 B Cotes du Roussillon – Rhone Blends Red Wine
Agly Brothers is a traditional and generous red blend comprised of Carignan, Shiraz and Grenache from 8 acres of old bush vines planted in hard schist soils in the early 1900s. The grapes are hand-picked, with fermentation carried out in small, cement tanks. Soft punch down is practiced for better fruit extraction, while seasoned French oak adds subtle spice. In limited quantities, a must have for wine enthusiasts.
Agly Brothers is nurtured biodynamically and made with simplicity from vines grown in the Southern French town of Latour de France, located in Corbières zone in the hills above the Roussillon plains. Literally translated as ‘The Tower of France’, this small village borders the ancient kingdoms of Catalonia and France. Mature vineyards lay abandoned in this area of steep, arid slopes due to the high cost of farming, thus it is the quest of the Laughton and Chapoutier families to rediscover and fully express these exceptional, low-yielding sites. This wine is the beginning of that quest.
