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. Enjoyw with sausages, roasted meats and cheeses, etc.


My review: This wine was earthy and has a sharp bite. Despite this bite, it is fresh tasting. The aftertaste is lemony and left me with a dry mouth. I would consider pairing this wine with steak.

Food:  None
