Bodegas San Román Tinto Toro 2017

Bodegas y Vinedos San Roman is a family-owned winery that was founded by iconic winemaker (of Vega Sicilia) Mariano Garcia in 1998 as Bodegas y Vinedos Maurodos. His vision was to produce world class wines which balanced freshness and longevity in the bottle against the renown power of the region's wines which is now run by his two sons, Alberto and Eduardo Garcia.

Organic viticulture, incorporating some Biodynamic principles and practices, these 100% Tinto de Toro (aka Tempranillo) 60 year old bush trained vines on steep hillside slopes at 700-800 meters altitude in mostly gravel with a mix of clay and sand soils. Aged for 24 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels with 25% of the oak being new.


You feel the punch and finesse in tandem. Deep ruby velvet in the glass.

Superbe pronounced aromas of blackberry, black cherry, black plum, cassis, vanilla, sandalwood, spice cake, tobacco, toasty oak and rich earthiness. Wrap yourself in the plush tannins and rich blue fruit notes accompanied by chocolate covered cherries, cigar box, mocha, prunes, licorice, cedar, into a sweet lingering finish of mint, dill and mocha. Silky meets polished in every sense. This one could easily age another decade. It has so much youth and pep in its step.

This Toro-tastic wine calls for charcoal smoked baby-back ribs 😋 divine!
