Tasting- Tres Ojos Old Vines Garnacha

Name: Tres Ojos Old Vines Garnacha
Variety: Garnacha
Region: Aragon
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $6.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Bright ruby color. Primary dark berry aromas are simple but offer very good purity and focus. Juicy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors are youthfully tangy, with good back-end acidity adding snap. The clean, brisk finish leaves behind notes of sweet dark berry preserves and cracked pepper.

My Review: This was a very delicious Garnacha with strong hints of berries and oak. A very smooth wine with a distinct peppery finish. Not too overwhelming and would pair nicely with any type of beef.

I did not taste this wine with food.
