Bodegas San Alejandro - Las Rocas Garnacha 2005

Bodegas San Alejandro - Las Rocas garnacha 2005

The elegance and character of Iberian Grenache

Robert Parker 90/100
Las Rocas Garnacha is undoubtedly one of the greatest successes of the Bodegas San Alejandro. The result of a rigorous selection of grapes from the best vineyards, this wine, with its very delicate oak notes, truly reflects the expertise of this winery. 30% of the blend is aged in American and French oak barrels, lending structure and complexity to this 100% Grenache Noir. Although young, it nevertheless exudes rich notes of ripe fruit, kirsch, and licorice, all with a hint of pepper. Full-bodied with a long finish... A must-have !
