Shop/wine critic/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:
This wine presents a dark crimson/bloody color, which is rather nice. The nose carries notes of alcohol, red fruit, strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. Upon tasting, there is a smoky oakiness and strong tannins. There is a nice fruity finish, but this wine is not overall terribly complex. 77-78/100
