Tasting- 2009 Tres Ojos Rose

Name: Tres Ojos Rose
Variety: 50% Tempranillo, 50% Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $1.95

Winery Review: 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: This wine is not the typical rose color, rather it is more of a watered-down cranberry color with a hint of orange. The nose also does not smell like a rose, but rather more like a more complex red. I noticed hints of plum and blackberry. This rose tasted smooth with a little spice, and finished bitter. For $2, it is a steal.
