Vino Borga


Name:Vina Borga Borsao
Variety:Grenache 
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95
Region: Campo de Borja
Country:Spain

Vintage Cellar 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 first smelled strawberry jam from this wine.  The mid palette was earthy and vegetal then tannic in finish.  It had a decent body as well.  It would pair well with something off the grill or barbeque.  I did not taste this with food.
