Alfredo Roca, Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 and 2005, By Roca Wines, USD 17
Nice and complex Cab fron south Mendoza (San Rafael) were Cab tends to ripe quite nicely if not destoyed by hailing. Both vintages show attractive middle shade red brilliant bordeaux type (the 2002 a bit brownish shade of course). Good initial aromas of ripe fruits, mostly mixed and anticipating toasty and chocolate hints. Wide palate with great middle impact were you find a touch of red sweet bell pepper and herbal spiciness too. A little short afterwards though. Nice globaly but a little soft both. No a big backbone of tannins. A 88 points cab with good value. To enjoy 6-8 years with some improvement.
