Winery Review: 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. 86 Points - R. Parker.
My Review: The nose of this Grenache possessed scents of sweet strawberry bubblegum, as well as freshly baked sugar cookies. The taste came as a shock as it does not match the sweet nose yet was very bitter and contained a hot, peppery finish. Additionally, the finish was very long and dry. I did not pair this wine with any food.
