Tasting Tres Ojos Rose



Name: Tres Ojos Rose
Variety: Garnacha Tempranillo
Region: Catatayud 
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $1.95
Vintage Cellar Review: 50% Tempranillo 50% Garnacha This medium rose-colored 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: The smell is vaguely of strawberries, really light and inoffensive, doesn’t smell too alcoholic.  The color is not fairy light and the smell is not at all spicy.  The taste is semi-dry but sweeter than expected.  The little tang is pleasant, and finished very smooth and cool.  This simple wine doesn’t offer much in complexity but for the incredibly low price it has a nice hint fruit and cherry.
