Tres Ojos Garnacha - Extreme Value

85% dry farmed Garnacha from 40-50+ year old vines plus 15% Tempranillo from Calatayud, Spain. The wine is whole berry fermented and aged in stainless steel for 12 months.

Sample submitted for review. The Tres Ojos Garnacha has an SRP of $12 and is available for as low as $8. It is imported by Kysela Pere et Fils, LTD.

From the bottle:

Garnacha from 40+ year old vines, fruit focused (tart cherries and raspberries) with a nice background of briary, peppery, spiciness. Easy on the palate and an excellent companion to a wide range of dishes from pasta, burgers & pizza to roasts and hearty cheeses.

Produced and Bottled by San Gregorio
15.5% Alcohol

The 2018 Tres Ojos Garnacha opens with lots of ripe, tart, dark berry aromas along with pleasing floral notes, some almost garrigue like herbal touches and a little leather.

Taking a sip reveals a smooth, tart, fleshy and juicy unoaked Garnacha. Featuring similar flavors to the nose with a little spice as well, this is loaded with character and deep fruit flavors from the old vine fruit.

It ends with a dry, very long and lasting finish of juicy fruit. This is a whole lot of flavor for just $8! The whole thing was just as good on day 2.
