Shop Review:
This medium rose-colored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish. Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas.

My Review:
This rose is on the darker end of the spectrum of rose wines, and the smell definitely follows suit. Tres Ojos Rose's aromas are heavy on the red and black berry side. The taste, however, is very strong. There is a strong bite that turned me away from this wine quickly.
