Wine Critic Review (Robert Parker): The 2012 Tres Ojos Garnacha contains 15% Tempranillo (I wonder why), and unoaked cuvée 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 had a nose of blackberries and raspberries. It tasted of tannins and raspberries. It was dry with lots of body. I enjoyed the experience of drinking this wine.
With Food: No
