Tasting: Tres Ojos Rose

Name: Tres Ojos Rose
Variety: 50% Tempranillo, 50% Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $1.95

Winery review: This medium rose-colored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish. Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas.

My review: This wine is labeled as a rose but I found it be much more full-bodied, closer to what is usually associated with red wines. With a definite 'zing' factor to it, this wine was spicy with a short finish but no particular smells or flavors really popped out at me.

Food: None
