Calatayud, Spain
Price: $6.95
Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: 88 points – Robert Parker
"The 2012 Tres Ojos Garnacha contains 15% Tempranillo (I wonder why), and unoaked cuvée of 200,000 bottles that matures in vat for at least seven months before bottling. What I tasted was a very honest, fresh and fruit-driven red with aromas of cherries, garrigue and thyme with a medium-bodied palate, some weight and tannins that would do better with food. This is a red that sells for a song.”
I really enjoyed the color of this wine, as it was a rosy but dark color, and yet still transparent. With a cherry bouquet and nicely balanced sweetness and tannins in the mouth, this was a pleasant wine to drink. It had a velvety feel, which I am gaining appreciation for, and left a strong finish on the back palate.
