Tasting - Viña Borgia Borsao

Name: Viña Borgia Borsao
Variety: 100% Grenache
Region: Campo 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: I think that the winery review was pretty accurate in this case.  I tasted both strawberries and cherry in this wine, along with plums.  Also, I noticed a slight amount of oak flavor in this wine.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
