3/28 Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha

Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: Grenache
Region/Country: Calatayud, Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Shop's 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.

My Review: This wine smelled like spicy cherries.  It was a dry wine with a strong amount of acid.  I tasted pepper and spice.

I did not drink this wine with food.
