Vintage Cellar Tasting - Tres Ojos

  • Name: Tres Ojos
  • Variety: Tempranillo, Garnacha
  • Region: Calatayud
  • Country: Spain
  • Year: 2009
  • Price: $3.95 $1.95
  • Shop Review: 50% Tempranillo 50% Garnacha.  This medium rose-colored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish.  Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas.
  • My Review: A smell of cherries and berries, light on the nose.  The flavor is spicy with a bit of berry, in particular raspberries.  I was surprised when this wine finished off hot, but it wasn't terribly noticeable.  I have had better wines, but for the price of $1.95 you can't really pass it up can you?  Hell no.  I bought this one...OF COURSE.
  • No foooooooood.
