Bodegas Borsao Red 2007 Wine Review (NW)

Tasting notes:

Nose of red berries and roses

Juicy core of fruit on the palate

Finish of tart cherry and herbs

This is a lean wine that has some fruit, floral, and herb qualities. Overall it's not very good and lacks depth, but I'm not going to pick it apart when it's in the value aisle at $7 or so.

Spanish wines can be excellent values, but in this case I recommend you spend a few more dollars for something better. In fact, Borsao's red wines in the $12-15 range are much better. Raise a glass to Spain!
