Tasting - Vina Borga Borsao 2012


NameVina Borga Borsao
Variety: Grenache
Region: Camp de Borja
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.

My Review: Nice red wine for its price. There was a blackberry and cherry scent on the nose. On the palate, this wine had a great tannic content with a slight strawberry taste. This dry wine had a long finish with a bitter after taste. I enjoyed the wine, but there are definitely better red wine options on the market.

I did not have this wine with food.
