Tasting - Vina Borga Borsao

Name:  Vina Borga Borsao
Variety:  100% Grenache
Region:  Campo de Borja
Country:  Spain
Year:  2012
Price:  $6.95

Winery review:  Also made from 100% Grenache, the 2012 Vina Borgia was fermented and aged in stainless steel. Its medium dark ruby color is followed by abundant notes of strawberries and black cherries offered in a straightforward, medium-bodied, soft, hedonistic, round style. It is hard to believe a wine this good can sell for $7 a bottle. Enjoy it over the next 1-2 years.  86 Points – Robert Parker

My review: On the nose, I get a lot of dark fruit and berries from this red wine. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with tight tannins and exerts flavors of black cherries and berries.

Food:  Did not have with food
