  Did not impress - 1/24/2009
I would not buy this wine again
This seemed over rated. There is nothing really wrong about it, but it was quite light, and even after decanting it never really opened up.

  Just right - 12/18/2008
I would buy this wine again
The perfect wine to have around the house for quiet eveings at home and our evening glass of wine. We always keep a case around.

  Agree with JT - 12/11/2008
I would not buy this wine again
Sorry, but I have to agree with J Thompson that I can't tell if it is a 90, and it just seemed a bit raw, young wine and just ok to drink

  This is a 90? - 9/3/2008
I would not buy this wine again
It did not have much nose or finish. The higher alchohol level of this wine seemed to override the subtle fruit flavors. if this is a 90 I guess I do not know what they are looking for in a wine. Drinkable but not a re-purchase.

Wine was just ok. Nothing special. Wasn't bad, wasn't great.

  Fair Garnacha for the Price - 5/15/2008

Yeah for the price you cannot really go wrong. My biggest complaint was the 14.5% of alcohol which can be pretty difficult to balance out. You get a bit tipsy ;) Besides the alchoholic undertones you do get some nice fruit in there. Even though it is unoaked it does seem like you pick up a little on the nose with some hazelnut on the side. Taste wise the wine is very velvety and did I mention alcoholic??? I am curious to try the 2006, but beside its strong price point I would ignore it.

This wine had a strange after taste. It was drinkable, but I will not purchase it again.

Every year, this is the best value Granache on the market. Fill your cellar allocation for non-cabernet reds with this wine.

  spicy and smooth - 2/22/2008
I would buy this wine again
I'm not a huge red wine drinker - as they tend to give me a headache - but this one was spicy, smooth, and delicious and didn't give me a migraine afterwards. :-)

There are very few wines that I will drink that cost under $50.00 dollars per bottle. This wine is being added to that list.

  Fabulous everyday red - 12/26/2007

But it looks like you won't get to try it since it's now out of stock :-( If it comes back, buy some!

  Excellent everyday wine. Great value! - 12/16/2007

Will certainly purchase again. For the price, it's a perfect every day or fine dinner pairing.

  Maybe the best deal of all time - 12/12/2007
I would buy this wine again
The depth and complexity of this wine can really only be understood when tasting this blind. Put it in a line up with others cost 2-3 times more and it will be rated as one of the highest in the group.

Read these reviews and just sampled. Terrific, very close to Wine.com profile, not oak as listed. I'm enjoying this and will definitely go for a few more bottles to keep on hand. Excellent, well-balanced, budget wine for gatherings.

A Customer - Altadena, CA
This wine is really, really good. My friends brought a $35 bottle of wine to share with dinner, unfortunately, we had just finished a bottle of this Las Rocas wine and there was no comparison. This is a really good red wine. Someone else suggested buying cases - good advice. I bought one bottle and am coming back to buy a case.
A Customer - Denver
This wine will wow you at this price...Great structure for a bottle at this price...Buy cases, yes cases....not one case, I said Cases!!!! You will love it. Pair with Ribeye steak...Enjoy!!!

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
Green Wines
Wines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."
Collectible wine
Collectible
These wines will improve from additional bottle age, when properly stored, and may show the greatest potential to increase in value.
