Alfredo Roca 2011 Dedicación Personal Sauvignon Blanc (San Rafael)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Citrusy in style, with aromas of orange, passion fruit and grapefruit. Feels flush and full-bodied, with basic tangerine and navel orange flavors. Fresh on the finish but hollow in terms of depth, with a light fade.

Alfredo Roca 2011 Roca Chenin Blanc-Chardonnay (San Rafael)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Basic apple and straw aromas are not that intense but are, at the very least, open and clean. Feels easygoing and nice, with acidity giving it a lift. Tastes dry, with white pepper dust mixed with tropical fruit flavors. Turns more stalky and waxy on the finish.

Alfredo Roca 2002 Malbec (San Rafael)
- $12
Starts out exotic, with clove and other spice notes. The palate is somewhat racy, with crisp acids pushing juicy black fruit. On the edges you’ll find oaky, spicy notes. Finishes peppery and snappy, with some length. Imported by Hand Picked Selections.

Alfredo Roca 2003 Malbec (San Rafael)
- $11
An entirely different breed. The nose hints strongly at bacon and spice, but it also weaves in subtle red-fruit notes. Out of the ordinary on the palate, too, where cherry flavors are light but savory. A touch odd and slick, but good because it’s not standard.

Alfredo Roca 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (San Rafael)
- $12
Aromas of jammy fruit mix with smoky bacon, and the whole is inviting. The palate maintains a soft, simple character, while the finish pours on toasty oak notes. Quite meaty and chewy, without much overt acidity. Imported by Hand Picked Selections.

Alfredo Roca 2006 Pinot Noir (San Rafael)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
A little sharp and ringing on the nose, with pine and citrus keeping it ultra fresh. The palate is mildly aggressive and zesty, with herbal raspberry and cherry flavors. With light oak and acidity kicking all the way to the end, this shows the crisp side of Pinot Noir.

Alfredo Roca 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (San Rafael)
- $11
Herbal aromas infiltrate the nose, and the palate features midlevel red fruit with a strong herbal edge. The finish shows saline, chocolate and pepper, and never does it rise much above struggling.

Alfredo Roca 2004 Malbec (San Rafael)
- $11
Big and spicy at first, and then vegetal, lesser characteristics seep in and take over. The palate has baked black fruit and a finish of bitter chocolate and pepper, but also some rooty, bark-like issues. There’s no point of focus to this wine.
— M.S.
