Estancia Piedra 2000 Paredinas Tinta de Toro (Toro)
- $80
This starts with a strong blast of black olives, leather and blackberry, followed by condensed fruit flavors and a tinge of black cherry. A nice wine with character, but for $80 it comes up short of thrilling.

Estancia Piedra 2000 Selección Tinta de Toro (Toro)
- $39
A touch grassy and raisiny at first, but soon it gets into step and shows cleaner, fresher spice and cherry notes. For an average vintage, this is a nice wine with pepper, mildly jabby tannins and lots of oak. With air it settles nicely, and with food it should make for a good partner.

Estancia Piedra 2001 Roble Tinta de Toro (Toro)
- $28
Molasses, saddle leather and black olive aromas add complexity and masculinity to the bouquet, while flavors of black cherry, roasted plum and vanilla fit correctly into the wine’s meaty, firm style. With obvious oak and raw tannins, this wine is still kicking and should drink well for another three to five years.

Estancia Piedra 2007 Azul Tinta de Toro (Toro)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
A heavy aromatic dose of funk, bramble and rubber is what greets you, and that reduced awkwardness never leaves the wine. Size and in-your-face leather and animal notes are dominant traits, and only below that do you find blackberry, plum and any mellowness. A good mouthfeel is the wine’s saving grace. Imported by Frontier Wine Imports.

Estancia Piedra 2006 Azul Tinta de Toro (Toro)
- $15
Young, rambunctious Toro is what this is. It’s leathery and raw on the nose, with barrel char to boot. The palate is sweet, unctuous and creamy, with candied berry flavors and caramel. And the tannins are typically huge and grabby.

Estancia Piedra 2007 Rosado Rosé (Toro)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This is two consecutive vintages of sketchy to poor rosé from this label. This one smells a bit like a swimming pool, while the flavors are of tart nectarine and pickle. Doesn’t much cut it.
