Tasting - Tres Ojos Rosado

Name: Tres Ojos
Variety: 70% Garnacha + 30% Tempranillo
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2017
Price: $6.95, Regular Price $9 Sale

Winery Review: Medium pink. This is Garnacha rose made in a fruity, easy drinking style. Showing ripe strawberry fruit, its moderate acidity and suave texture makes it the perfect sipping rose. A blend of 70% Garnacha and 30% Tempranillo grown on limestone, marl and slate soils and made by the San Gregorio cooperative, which includes about 900 ha of 40+ year old vines. 14.5% alc. - i-winereview.com, 89 pts

My Review: This blend had strong scents of strawberry (with a hint of raspberry) with the obvious floral note of roses tied in. It was drier (and almost a little bitter) which was unexpected, and it ended with a five second long after taste. Overall, it was quite fruity and floral.

With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
