WINE =======: 2001 Las Rocas de San Alejandro Garnacha
Tasting Date: 2005-01-29
Varietal    : Grenache
Score       : 89
Country     : Spain
State       : Calatayud
Region      : San Alejandro

Notes
-----
Color is a pretty ruby color, not too deep, but a nice
shade. The nose is rich and fruity with deep red fruits,
primarily black cherry. The flavor has good fruit, more like
raspberry and cherry, and a good healthy acid level, with an
odd touch of bitterness, but not unpleasant. It doesn't have
much in the way of tannins. I found this wine really quite
pleasant.

Additional Notes
----------------
This old vineyard in Calatayud, Spain, used to sell its entire production
to a coop, but decided a few years ago to do a custom bottling for Eric
Solomon, one of Polaner Selections' primary suppliers. The Calatayud D.O.
is located in the most western part of the Spanish province of Zaragoza.
The vineyards of San Alejandro cover a total of 1100 hectares in the
villages of Miedes, Codos, Ruesca, Orera, Mara, Villalba de Perejiles,
Belmonte de Graci
