The region of Toro, in Castillo y Leon, is known for red wines made from Tinta de Toro, a local variant of Tempranillo, the grape name that appears on the label, no doubt for American consumers more familiar with Tempranillo than Tinta de Toro. Blended with a small percentage of Garnacha (Grenache) then aged for four months in a combination of French and American oak, the wine has a deep purple-ruby color, ripe boysenberry aroma and flavors, supported by medium tannins and 3.5% alcohol. There is substance, fruit in this value wine.
