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, Family Reserve Temranillo 2004, a great San Rafael red as expected
Alfredo Roca, Family Reserve, Tempranillo 2004, By Roca SA, USD 15

A very nice and friendly Tempranillo red from San Rafael Valley ,South Mendoza.
Even though 8 y/o by now it brings fresh berries and confited black raspberries in that sugary structure tipical of Tempranillo far less acid and strong than most Spain brothers. Good maturity although it tastes a little bit weak. So probably before 6 y/o was its golden momentum the get the best. Now an 88 point red enjoyable and fair, surely once upon a time above 90 points. No doubt a San Rafael´s great value like mostly expected.
