Herdade do Rocim 2013 Grande Rocim Reserva Alicante Bouschet (Alentejo)
Vineyard redevelopment and a new winery contributed to this fine expression of ripe Alicante Bouschet wine under the direction of Catarina Vieira. It's rich and structured, reflecting the grape. The dark color and powerful spice and black-fruit flavors are right up front to give a dense wine that will always be firm. The wine comes in a very heavy bottle. Roger Voss
