Tasting-Tres Ojos Garnacha


Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95
Shop review: “The 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.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: This wine had a red-violet color, and a smell of ripe green herbs or freshly-cut twigs.  The taste confirmed this twig taste, and the wine was slightly chalky or bitter.  However, the finish was smooth and only slightly sour.

 I drank this without food.
