Winery Review: A 50-50 blend of Tempranillo and Garacha, this medium rosecolored rosado boasts a spicy red herry/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: Tres Ojos or three eyes for my English audience was also a "Ok" wine. It had the typical pink color. The nose was the best part of this wine with the smells of plums and grape jelly. The taste of the wine was crisp. The initial taste was bitter but the mid palate was very very berry. The after taste also maintained berry flavor but a strong bitterness returned which I found to be unpleasant. This wine would go well with a chocolate dessert. The right occasion could possible convince me to have this wine again. It just didn't match the Coastal Vines.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
