Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha Tempranillo Rose

Name: Tres Ojos Garnacha Tempranillo Rose
Variety: Blend  of Tempranillo and Garacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $5.95

Critic Review: A 50-50 blend of Tempranillo and Garacha, 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 did not smell very good to me. It had an unpleasant spicy aroma.  It was also a little too dry for my taste.  However, it did have a nice cherry mid palate.  The finish tasted of raspberries mixed with straw. I didn't taste this wine with food.
