Alfredo Roca - Argentina
2007 Dedicación Personal Bonarda....$16.99 
"The Roca family has been producing wine in Mendoza for 4 generations, and currently farms nearly 260 acres in San Rafael, the southernmost province of Mendoza. At altitudes of 2,300 to 2,600 feet above sea level, Roca's vineyards produce distinct, cool-climate wines of singular quality.
Tasting Notes: Deep, ruby red color with inky, black tones. Ripe raspberry/cherry aromas on the nose, with spicy vanilla notes. Smooth and polished on the palate, with a supple texture, bright red fruit flavors, and a lingering finish.
Serve With: Excellent with richly sauced dishes such as veal or pork scallopini in marsala sauce or wild mushroom ragout served over creamy polenta." -- Importer
