LAS ROCAS 09 OLD VINES
ROBERT PARKER 90 POINTS- "My favorite of this trio, and a big time sleeper, is the outstanding 2009 Las Rocas Garnacha Vinas Viejas, which comes from 60-100-year old vines planted at 2,500-3,500 feet elevations. Aged ten months in old French and American oak, it possesses 15.2% alcohol along with a deep ruby/purple color and copious notes of plums, raspberries, black cherries, lavender and licorice, a full-bodied texture, and impressive purity, depth and freshness. This dry red represents super value for frugal consumers. It should last for several years."100 year old plus, high alititude, Garnacha vines. Deep garnet with violet highlights. The palate is rich with dark cherries, blueberries and wild herbs. Tannins are ripe and smooth.
