Wine Tasting: Vina Borgia Borsao Grenache

Name:  Vina Borgia Borsao 
Variety: Grenache

Region: Campo de Borja
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $7

Shop 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.


My review:  Buttery and creamy smell at first, which I though was strange to smell in a wine that was aged in stainless steel. After it opened up, it smelled of cherry and strawberry jam. This wine was fairly light for a red wine, and not very dry. I primarily tasted cherry.
