Rustic with notes of wild strawberry and savory herbal notes. Juicy and acidic. Great with a turkey burger. — 3 months ago

Great typicity of a #tintadetoro #tempranillo from #spain — 6 years ago
Deep and dark ruby garnet. Abundant nose of black cherry and pipe tobacco. Echoed on the palate with a stony mid-palate and a cigar box finish. Velvety tannins coat the mouth from entry to the medium long finish. Toro is probably best known (to those who know it) through really high-end wines that cost more and are less well-known than their fellow Tempranillo-based brothers from Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Darker and fuller than either, Toro at more moderate price points (like this one) let the wineaux experience Spain (and Tempranillo) at a higher level without breaking the proverbial bank. A great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon (New or Old World) that’s ready for steaks, roasts, root vegetables, hearty casseroles, or any other “deep red” meal. Drink now through 2025. — 7 years ago
Amazing heavy, bold wine with steak and balsamic mushrooms. Perfect pair for the price. Tonya de door grapes are bold and flavorful red wine option. — 2 months ago
For me at it’s peak. Nice fruits like bramble dark cherries and plum, combined with meaty tones, leather and some umami. — 5 months ago
Medium ruby in color; plums, bell peppers, and paprika on the nose; medium acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like raspberries, jalapeño, and wet slate with a long finish. It's a really interesting flavor. It's not for everyone, but well made. I like it. — a year ago

Some old vine southern hemisphere Carignane tonight. Dense color. Still youthful looking. Boisterous nose of dark cherry and pungent blueberry. A nice yeasty note too, along with a smoky stony note. Soft and rich in the mouth. Lots of flavor density. I didn’t notice the ABV when I bought it in the sale bin, but it’s 15.5%!! Yikes! But I’m not getting much heat at all, weirdly. Probably not the best choice on a humid warm evening, but I’m enjoying it. — 2 months ago

Skin-contact Torontel/Torrontés from very old vines (nearly 80 years old) in Loncomilla, a sub-region of the Maule Valley in Chile. 8 months of skin maceración, hence the intense orange color. Very fragrant, aromas of tropical fruit aromas (guava). Round, complex, smooth — 5 years ago
