Tasting- Tres Ojos Old Vines Garnacha


Name:  Tres Ojos
Variety:  Grenacha
Region:  Aragon                               
Country: Spain
Year:  2009
Price:  $6.95
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 wine did not have a huge nose but I did get some pepper and spice smells.  The taste was a little overpowering with pepper.  There was a hint of blackberry flavor, but it was dulled by the pepper.   It was dry as well.  A pass for me.

I tried this wine without food.
