Tasting- Vina Borga Borsao

Name: Vina Borga
Variety: Borsao
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.

Personal Review:  This wine is a dark ruby color. On the nose I get cherries and strawberries. The middle and the finish are tart. I did not think this wine was as acidic as the white wine. However, it did have a complex finish to it. This wine was okay. I did not pair it with food.
