A red with blackberry and plum aromas and flavors and orange-peel undertones. It’s full-bodied with ripe tannins and a flavorful finish. Give it a year or two to soften and come together. Drink after 2021.

A rich but fresh nose with blackberries, stones, graphite and a hint of dried violet. A full-bodied and flavorful Toro with good concentration and freshness, swathed in plenty of fresh, silky tannins. Excellent length. Drink or hold

Generous, red berry palate and nose. Has elegance and freshness, with supple tannins and integrated oak. Much more approachable in its youth, but has enough balance and depth to keep going.
