    2007 Bodegas San Alejandro Garnacha Calatayud Las Rocas

    Very bright red fruits, straightforward, not incredibly complex, but well-balanced. High acid and good minerality make a very food-friendly wine. Cherries and cranberries are the lead fruits with some raspberry showing on the mid-palate along with a very light herbal touch. This is a red wine for chicken, but stick

    Howdy. I'm delighted to introduce myself as Palate Press' first columnist. I've been writing about wine for more than a decade, as a freelancer and as a staff writer for a couple of publications, but what I haven't written about before today is that I also spent a little over

    A nice offering from Down Under. Nose is stubbornly tight at first, but then yields notes of cassis, cedar, and green pepper. Generous fruit on the palate, with restrained tannins and overtones of juicy blackberries and chocolate with oak floating throughout. Finish is clean, albeit not languorous. Have it with

    The most common question I am asked by people is: “When do I need a wine cellar?” There are several different thoughts on this. If you are the type of person that buys wines on a bottle per bottle basis, a wine cellar is not an investment for you. But

    In the nose, a touch of green pepper and eucalyptus, then nice spice appears. Also, a touch of sweetness, cotton candy surrounding the light fruit on the palate. Tannins open up a bit over the course of a half-hour or so, but the wine remains restrained and so light as

    A large, loping dog greets me at the gate, followed in short order by a woman in work gloves on a four-wheeler who casually asks, “Can I help you?” “I’m Lisa,” I tell her, “the enology student from Oregon who e-mailed you a few weeks ago.” “Oh, yes!” she replies,
