Shop Review: The store had a review for this wine. I chose this wine because it was very cheap and had a decent rating. The review done by iwinereviews. The review states: “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 (Vintage Cellar).

My review: The Tres Ojos had hints of plum in its nose. When drinking this wine, the spices were the first thing I noticed, however, I could not specify exactly what spices I was tasting. I didn't quite enjoy this wine. There was nothing memorable about this wine. Along with the spiced flavors, it had a fruity palate as well, but nothing over the top. It had a very dry finish that lingered.

Food: N/A
