Tasting- Tres Ojos Garnacha

This 2011 Tres Ojos Garnacha is from Calatayud, Spain, made from Garnacha grapes, priced at $6.95. This was one of my favorite wines at the tasting. The Vintage Cellar said, "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 extraordinary 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." It was a big wine with a strong smell and peppery aftertaste. With strong hints of raspberries and other spices.
