Bodegas Borsao’s Tres Picos is their flagship bottling that represents one of the best bargains in Spain today. It’s made from 100% Garnacha and has become one of the benchmark Spanish wines under $15 in the store.
The 2010 Borsao Tres Picos has arrived. It was rated 91 points by the International wine Cellar and they said “it could pass for a Northern Rhone.” The Wine Spectator rated it 90 points and a Smart Buy. The last two vintages that were rated 90 points by the Wine Spectator both ended up in the Top 100.
Jam-packed with rich, velvety dark fruit like it always has been, but the 2010 Tres Picos displays another dimension of structure and smokiness that shows itself on the finish. A full-bodied and rich Spanish red for just a bargain price!
We’re offering the 2010 Borsao Tres Picos Garnacha for just $11.99 per bottle and we’ve added $1 per bottle shipping on a case or more! Reviews International Wine Cellar 91 Points
Glass-staining purple. Lively, faintly medicinal aromas of cherry, blueberry and licorice, plus hints of smoky herbs and flowers. Juicy and expansive, offering sweet, deeply pitched bitter cherry and dark berry flavors supported by a taut spine of acidity and fine-grained tannins. Finishes with powerful spicy thrust and suggestions of candied flowers and woodsmoke. This could pass for a northern Rhone wine, and a really good one at that.-JR

This rich red is brimming with raspberry jam, chocolate, licorice and wild herb flavors. Firm tannins are well-integrated and buoyed by orange peel acidity. A lively modern style. Drink now through 2015. 5,000 cases imported.-TM |
