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 red had a metallic, cold quality in aroma and on the palate. There were plenty of dark fruits and licorice, most notably black cherries and plums. The Vina Borgia had a chewy texture with a bold, strong finish and full-bodied tannins. It was a very generic red that I feel like I've tasted before- but it is not to say I did not enjoy it. I did not pair this with food, but like I've said so many times with reds like these, I would have this with roast beef dishes, beef stew, or dark barbequed chicken.
