Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha

Name:  Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety:  100% Grenache
Region:  Calatayud
Country:  Spain
Year:  2011
Price:  $6.95

Winery Review: 100% Grenache.  It exhibits very fresh, ripe dark red fruit with very good palate weight and depth and ends with rich fruit notes. Made from organically grown grapes. Incredible value!"

My Review:  In the wine glass this grenache has a very deep color, almost a purple.  This wine has a heavy, dry mouth-feel and it brings some heat.  Upon first sip, the fruity flavors of blackberry emerge.  The finish leaves the mouth feeling very dry.  This is a more dynamic wine, for a cheap price.  The alcohol hit me harder than I would have liked.

I did not pair this wine with food.
