The wine region of Toro traditionally produces big brooding wines, but this one is different. Big, yes, bulky, yes but I still like it, although not my favorite.
Ruby red color in the glass and on the nose earth, tobacco and mushroom.
On the palate you will find hints of cocoa and a little spice round out this full bodied wine. Drink now.
The Toro wine region is 125 miles north from Madrid Spain, where you might be familiar with the running of the bulls. Toro means Bull in Spanish.
A decade ago, there were only 10 wineries in the Toro region. Today there are 55. With modern wine making techniques and farming, a new breed of winemakers is taming the wild horse. The horse in this case is the grape known as Tinto del Toro, a type of Tempranillo grape. The Toro region produces bold and robust wines rich with flavor and aroma.
