Tasting- Tres Ojos Garnacha


Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: Garnacha (aka Grenache)
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95
Vintage Cellar 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 smelled like pepper and berries. It was very smooth and tart. I did not like the mouth feel; it coated my mouth and felt flour-y. This wine was so-so, but would have been a lot better with cheese. 
Food: Not tasted with food
