Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha


Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha

Variety: Grenache

Region: Calatayud

Country: Spain

Year: 2011

Price: $6.95

Shop Review: This wine has a brick red color with a bouquet of red raspberries, spice, and white pepper.  The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich.  The modern styles of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality.  This wine is fruity, juicy, and shows great depth, ripe tannins, length, but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness.  Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses, etc.

My Review: On the nose, this wine came off as spicy.  A bit buttery in the mouth, you could definitely pick out the raspberries.  This wine had a bitter aftertaste.

With Food? No
