Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha Tempranillo Rosé

Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha Tempranillo Rosé
Variety: 50% Tempranillo, 50% Garacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $6

Winery review: A 50-50 blend of Tempranillo and Garacha, this medium rosecolored 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: I sensed something akin to black raspberry on the nose. One of the more fragrant wines I had at the tasting; I definitively sensed the spices. I got flavors of sour berry on the tongue, and a slight tartness, but I still found the wine enjoyable, especially at its price point.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
