For a young Toro, this is a spunky, rubbery wine with plenty of heft, color and flavor if not a lot of polish and finesse. It hits with force and pours on the ripe raspberry and black cherry flavors. For a basic Toro, Torcanto delivers admirable balance and flavor, which is the best one should hope for.

Roble means “oak” in Spanish, and oaky it is. The nose is creamy and candied, while the palate is soft, sticky and mixes raspberry with butter-like flavors. When people say they don’t want too much oak on their basic wines, this is what they mean.
