Tres Ojos Garnacha

Tres Ojos
Garnacha
2011
$6.95
Calatayud, Spain

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 cheeses, etc.

Personal Review:  Very strong, distinct smell, with a slight smokiness and obvious dryness. Tastes very dry with no apparently dominant flavors. Pepper can be detected at the finish, but overall was not one of my personal favorite reds.
