Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha


Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: 50% Garnacha, 50% Tempranillo
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95 

Shop 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. 

Personal Review: I really liked the Tres Ojos Garnacha.  There was a bit of a spice taste, but not too much which I really liked.  I also really enjoyed the raspberry flavors that were in this wine.  For 6.96, I definitely think this wine is a steal.
