“Kravitz still has a knack for finding good wines at great prices” – Robert Parker, Parker on Wine, BusinessWeek, 8/20 & 27, 2007
Alfredo Roca
2009 Chardonnay
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: Offers vibrant pear and apple aromas. Has a touch of richness, but thankfully lacks fat, buttery flavors.
Serve With: Excellent on its own, but can stand up to richly sauced poultry, seafood, or creamy pasta dishes.
