Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha

I did not pair this wine with food

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

Professional Review:
"This semi-opaque ruby, custom cuvée of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre is made specifically for Fran Kysela. 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!"
- I-WineReview (December 2013), 90 pts.


My Review:
This wine had a nice rich color. It smelled of rich wood. It had a very dry, hearthy taste, with some slight herbs. If this wine were a person, he would be brooding in a large leather chair, twiddling his thumbs with his brows furrowed. The fire in the fireplace would cast a large shadow along the wall, where there are many leather-bound books. I would recommend this wine.
