Wine Tasting Tres Ojos Garnacha


Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Winery 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 a great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness. Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses etc. 

My review: This wine had a very nice berry smell. This wine was fruitier than most red wines I've had. I could really taste the mixed berries in this red wine. It was a little dry but it was a good balance to the fruitiness of the wine. There was a little bitterness at the finish which I thought meshed well with the wine. 

I tasted this on its own with no food.
