Gary Killops rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A good friend of mine swears that this is the best wine he has ever had. He buys a case (or two) of every vintage released.

I recently had the opportunity to do a vertical wine tasting of Las Rocas San Alejandro Garnacha and the 2009 vintage topped the list.

A bit more complex than the other vintages. Lost of interesting spices, smoky flavours, and black cherry fruit notes. Tasty ... I wanted more of this wine.
Shawn rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Cherry and raspberry on the nose and taste. I paid $11.99 and is a giant value. This would be a great party wine that would pair easily with many different options. Easy drinking on its own. Drink while your making dinner or eating it. Nice BBQ wine.
Travis Oke rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

This is a good example of Garnacha - fruity with some tannins and good for a BBQ. I found it a little one dimensional and maybe that's why Grenache/Garnacha is usually blended with something else.
Purple coloured, it delivers a smoky, spicy, black cherry perfume leading to a soft, easy-going, savoury wine meant for drinking over the next 4 years. As usual, it is an excellent value. Drink: 2010-2014. Score: 88 JMI
