Both Yonna and the Campo de Borja region (which only has 16 wineries) were new to me before this tasting.
Mark Westlake also brought this bottle to Dave Morgan's tasting, but like the Florentino this blended wine didn't "sing" -- nothing distinctive, no layers of fruit, no nuance from oak -- heavy-handed winemaking seems to be the culprit (although it's quite possible that this is simply not a great grape growing region).
$22; 85 points
Bottom Line: Overpriced for what you get, but it's interesting to check-in on a new region -- also, Westlake shouldn't bring two bottles in the future, instead he should pool the money he spent on two odd-ball wines and bring one that's for real (like the Mauro in his hand)!
