Tasting - "Tres Ojos Garnacha Calatayud"

Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha Calatayud
Variety: 85% Garnacha, 15% Tempranillo
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95

Wine Review: "The 2012 Tres Ojos Garnacha contains 15% Tempranillo (I wonder why), and unoaked cuvĂ©e of 200,000 bottles that matures in vat for at least seven months before bottling. What I tasted was a very honest, fresh and fruit-driven red with aromas of cherries, garrigue and thyme with a medium-bodied palate, some weight and tannins that would do better with food. This is a red that sells for a song.”

My Review: This wine smells flowery and taste a little sweet, kind of bland, and has no taste of alcohol. There is not much of an aftertaste but does not dry out your mouth.
I enjoyed this wine without food.
