Tasting: Vina Borga Borsao

Name: Vina Borga Borsao
Variety: 100% Grenache
Region: Aragon
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95
Winery Review: 86 Points - Robert Parker -  "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."
Personal Review: This wine smelled like blackberries, grapes, and cranberries. It tasted jammy at first and had a very peppery mid-palate and had a dry finish. The wine was medium-bodied with flavors of currants, blackberries, and cranberries coming through. I did not have this wine with any food.
