Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha

Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: Garnacha
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. he 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: The nose on this Garnacha is very spicy, with hints of fruit flavors. The white pepper hit hard on the mid-palate and then ravaged my mouth, hiding all other flavors. It had a very nice dryness that persisted throughout. Maybe it was just because I love white pepper in a wine, but I really enjoyed this. 

I did not try this with food.
