Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate:  Rated as An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character.  "The deep pink-colored 2008 Las Rocas Rosado offers a fragrant bouquet of strawberry, cherry, and rhubarb leading to a medium-bodied, fleshy wine with tons of flavor, excellent depth, and a vibrant personality. It will be versatile with a wide range of cuisines and drink well over the next 12-18 months (2009-2010).  The Las Rocas label has become synonymous with value in recent years."  Feb 2009

Winery:  "An attractive strawberry pink colour with violet hues.  Clean, fresh and fruity. Very intense aromas, especially raspberry and strawberry. With a full body, it is tightly knit, elegant persistent and has an after-taste that reminds us once again of the red fruits."

Wired For Wine:    Las Rocas de San Alejandro Rosado is the perfect wine for an afternoon meal underneath the shade tree.  And what an excellent excuse to pull out the tapas!  Las Rocas is going to pair well with a range of food, so rustle up a host of small plates.  We like some chorizo next to pickled peppers, Iberico or Serrano ham sliced thinly, and lightly fried calamari.  Make sure you support your local farmer and pick up whatever vegetables are looking particularly fine.  Prepare them your favorite way, or a simple sauté in olive oil would do just fine.  Don't forget:  no self-respecting tapas menu would be complete without an assortment of great olives and Marcona almonds. For a final course, the tanginess of goat cheese will pair well with the pleasant acidity of the Las Rocas.  Try a soft goat cheese like Selles-sur-Cher, but you can also experiment with aged varieties.  !Ole¡
