David:
Ruby red in color, this medium bodied Spanish wine is made form Grenache grapes. Has low acidity and light mouthfeel which is typical of Grenache. Flavors are berries and cherry. Develops well in the mouth with a slight spiciness by the end. Went well with pizza and was fine on its own. A bit too light (or perhaps too subtle) for me.
Score 3.8/5
Jessica:
I really enjoyed this wine. It had a softer tone, the flavor with some sweetness which I found pleasant. It struck me as a simple tablewine that would do well with a variety of cheeses and pastas.
4/5
One thing we've noticed lately is that "old world" wines seem to be making a huge comeback, especially varietals from Spain (though their counterparts from Argentina and other locations are also enjoying a great deal of popularity). Our theory is that wines like Garnacha, such as our Las Rocas label, are more balanced and friendly (or light/soft, as you two point out) than some Cabernets, Syrahs, and even Pinot Noirs - which are made all over the world. Garnacha (or Grenache) is made in a lot of countries, too, but there's nothing like those old vines, and we usually get good feedback from a surprisingly wide variety of wine enthusiasts.
