Torre Oria Wines

Sort By:

Torre Oria NV Brut Nature Sparkling (Cava)

Price $20

The Nature tag indicates no dosage, and this Cava is appropriately very crisp and dry. The nose is closed, but tart green apple flavors and chalk accents enliven the palate. Light in weight, it has a soft mousse, and slightly floral close. — M.M. (12/31/2001)

Torre Oria NV Brut Reserve Sparkling (Cava)

Starts off with musky apple aromas, but turns crisp and refreshing on the palate despite a vague sense of dilution. Peppery white grapefruit sparks the finish. — J.C. (12/31/2001)

Torre Oria NV Brut Sparkling (Cava)

Price $11

Toast, butterscotch and oxidized apple aromas precede a heavy, nearly overripe palate loaded down with sticky apple, nectarine and banana. Where it does well is in texture, which is correct and pleasant. Finishes long and heavy. A different breed. — M.S. (6/1/2005)

Torre Oria NV Brut Rosado Grenache (Cava)

Price $13

Light cherry and berry aromas are a bit candied, and the palate is more so. It’s almost sugary sweet, but fortunately the wine has good acidity and bounce, so it’s not cloying or sticky. Definitely for fans of white Zin and other sweet rosés. — M.S. (12/15/2007)

Torre Oria 1999 Reserva Tempranillo (Utiel-Requena)

Price $15

Cola, root beer and herbal fruit carry the nose into a fairly balanced, old-school palate that features crisp cherry, raspberry and citrus flavors. This is made from Tempranillo and it’s a bit like an ’80s model cru bourgeois Bordeaux. — M.S. (12/15/2007)

Torre Oria NV Brut Sparkling (Cava)

Online Exclusive

Price $13

First, second and third nosings all result in the same finding: that this Cava smells a lot like lettuce. In the mouth, scattered citrus and apple flavors are acceptable, and while the mouthfeel is fine, it just doesn’t hit the spot or trigger much excitement. — M.S. (8/1/2007)

Torre Oria 2005 Superior Tempranillo (Utiel-Requena)

Price $9

Dusty and peppery aromas alert you to the fact that this will be a lean, tight ride. The palate delivers on the promise, showing tart cherry and raspberry flavors in front of a wave of vanilla on the choppy, acidic finish. Decent fruit and clean, but lean and clipped. — M.S. (12/15/2007)

Torre Oria 1998 Reserve Tempranillo (Utiel-Requena)

Online Exclusive

Price $15

Mild cherry and violet aromas are the best part. The palate is tannic and bland, with flavors akin to green tobacco and cranberry. Loses clarity with airing; it turns to burnt and chemical tasting. — M.S. (10/1/2005)
