Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha

Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: Grenache
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 Tasting Notes

My review: This wine had a tremendous amount of richness and depth of flavor. The tannins make this wine very full and robust. I think it tastes dry on the palate when tasted by itself, but I would be interested to see how it tastes with some cheeses or a meat. Maybe better as a meal dinner rather than a sipper? I liked it and am interested to taste further with food.
