Tasting- Tres Ojos Garnacha

Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: 100% Garnacha
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: This wine started with a strong raspberry scent that had a light sweetness to it.  Then the tasting brought a sticky, fruity flavor with a long lasting finish.  Nothing specific stood out, so I wasn't a huge fan of it.  I would consider trying it again but was not overly impressed.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
