Variety: 85% Garnacha, 15% Tempranillo
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Price: $6.95
Year: 2012
Winery Review: 88 points – Robert Parker
"The 2012 Tres Ojos Garnacha contains 15% Tempranillo (I wonder why), and unoaked cuvée of 200,000 bottles that matures in vat for at least seven months before bottling. What I tasted was a very honest, fresh and fruit-driven red with aromas of cherries, garrigue and thyme with a medium-bodied palate, some weight and tannins that would do better with food. This is a red that sells for a song.”
My Review: In this wine, the dark berries and wood came out on the palate. I thought it had a very good finish. It holds up well and would be even better with food.
I did not try this with food.
