The label gives no indication of the blend, but frankly, Las Rocas makes such consistently good value-packed wine, that whatever blend they select is fine with me. This one is the lightest–but certainly not vapid–of their current trio of releases. It delivers captivating, hard to resist strawberry-like flavors offset by a touch of spice. It’s easy to recommend for pizza, burgers or even ribs.
