Tasting - Vina Borgia

Name: Vina Borgia
Variety:  %100 Grenache

Region:  Campo de Borja
Country: Spain
Year:  2012
Price:  $6.95

Professional Review:  Also mode 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.  Its hard to believe a wine this good can sell for $7 a bottle.  Enjoy it over the next 1-2 years.
Robert Parker - 86 points

My Review:  Great, strong cherry on the nose followed up by blackberries. An interesting palate of
beef, earth, and minerals that in conjunction almost have the a juicy feel and a blood like component. Medium acid, Medium plus tannins, and a lingering blackberry finish.
