Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha

Name: Tres Ojos Granacha
Variety: Grenache
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95


Winery 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.

My review: Not a very strong nose, rather dry and subtle. As it was very simple, it was hard to pick out a specific flavor. Due to this wine's unassuming nature, it would probably pair well with most foods, especially heavier entrees.
