Rocca’s 2012 Vespera is about 70% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance being Merlot and Syrah. A dusty currant and chocolate character with cherry licorice lingering on its medium size frame.

Best one of the night if I'm remembering correctly. Very interesting wine. Would love to have again.

This one's a beauty, wow! Blueberries, blackberries, brown sugar highlighted by fresh tobacco. Lush tannins, silky mouthfeel, long finish. #lovely

Good wine with a subpar dinner. They just opened for the season and served me an in-eatable piece of chicken. This didn’t help with a positive attitude toward the wine.
