Wine Tasting: Tres Ojos Garnacha

Name: Tres Ojos
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.  Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheese etc.  - Vintage Cellar 3/28/2013

My Review:  Tres Ojos is warm and light with a spicy edge.  Flavors of redberries are easily detectable, yet this wine has a bitter finish on the back of the throat.  I was not a big fan of this wine.

 
Food: I did not try this wine with food.
