2006 Bodegas San Alejandro Las Rocas Calatayud Garnacha

As I've noted before, one of the great values picks of the past few years had been the Las Rocas Calatayud Garnacha. This was my first tasting of the 2006 vintage, and I am pleased to report that it is continuing to uphold the quality of the previous vintages.

This wine isn't going to blow you away, but it delivers solid drinking at a great price. I'll continue to recognize this as a great choice for everyday drinkers, as it comes in around $12. The Old Vines cuvee is always great as well, but I'm not sure it is worth the $5-$6 premium it commands.
