92 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "(100% garnacha) Opaque violet. Sexy aromas of red and dark berries, sandalwood, spicecake and fresh rose. Spicy, concentrated raspberry and blackberry flavors are given spine by zesty minerals and pick up a smoky quality with air. Impressively lively for such a rich wine, with strong finishing spiciness and lingering notes of licorice and red berries. (Sep/Oct 2009)"

92 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "The entry-level 2007 Veraton is 100% estate-grown Garnacha aged for 17 months in new French and American oak before bottling without filtration. Deep crimson-colored, it has a sexy nose of smoke, spice box, lavender, black cherry, and black raspberry that wafts from the glass. Full-bodied on the palate with layers of succulent red and black fruit, it is balanced, pure, and lengthy. Drink it over the next 6-8 years. The vocal low-alcohol crowd will have disdain for this wine; those who enjoy big, powerful, in-your-face wine will love it. (Apr 2010)"

92 points Rhone Report: "A stunning wine, the 2007 Bodegas Alto Moncayo Campo de Borja Veraton (100% Garnacha) is jam packed with blackberry liqueur, coffee, smoke, vanilla and new oak nuances that while exuberant and ripe, stop short of being over the top. The palate is full bodied with gobs of ripe, sweet fruit, beautiful balance, a firm, edgy feel and a long, clean finish. If you.re oak adverse, give this a year or two in the cellar, otherwise, drink this stunning value over the next 10 to 12 years. (Feb 2010)"
