Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Alfredo Roca, Dedicacion Personal, Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, from San Rafael Valley an introduction to the source of the best Cabs
Alfredo Roca, Dedicacion Personal, Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, By Roca Wines, USD 18

A Cabernet Sauvignon from San Rafael Valley, South Mendoza.
Great and complete Cab like San Rafael often brings out. Full body with a nice core fruit and peppery surrounding. The herbal toach is quite mild like you see with fully ripe Cabs. Very attractive palate with mild toasty and chocolaty notes. A 90 point red and a great value. Probably best between 4 and 6 years old. This Cab introduces to the best Cabs from Mendoza, those from San Rafael Valley.
