Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha


Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: Grenache
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 extraordinary 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: Black cherry and ripe, dark skinned fruits on the nose.  !4.5% alcohol and a very deep red color.  Acidic, hot, jammy and a spicy after taste.  This was not well balanced without food and I think a meal would round it out.
