The second wine from this week's tasting was Tres Ojos winery's rose, made from 50% Tempranillo and 50% Garnacha. The winery is in Calatayud, Spain in the Aragon region. The shop's notes describe this rose as having a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish. Would go well with tapas. To me, the taste made me think of a grape jam with pepper sprinkled on top. It was fruity but not very sweet, and left my mouth dry. I could see this going well with cheeses and maybe beef and some vegetables. This 2009 vintage was $3.95 at The Vintage Cellar.
