Torres 2005 Sangre de Toro Red (Catalunya)
- Best Buy
- $10
Stocky and warm, with mild baked-fruit aromas and a hint of bramble. This venerable table wine is made from 65% Garnacha and 35 Cariñena, and from 2005 it’s pretty much on the money. Expect earthy, mildly brambly flavors, lively acidity and soft tannins. Good for a wide range of simple foods and appetizers.

A bit minty and sharp on the bouquet, with a tight, angular palate featuring red plum, spice and cherry flavors. Juicy, bright, active and zesty, with some scour to the finish. Gets better as it breathes.

Torres 2011 Sangre de Toro Tempranillo (Catalunya)
- $12
This Tempranillo is forward in style, with leather, cherry, plum and smoky aromas. It feels racy and healthy, with buttery oak, vanilla, herb and mild raspberry and red plum flavors. This is good as a whole, with no one characteristic sticking out.

Torres 2006 Sangre de Toro Red (Catalunya)
- Best Buy
- $10
A perennial Best Buy, Sangre de Toro always delivers a quality red-wine experience that does not bowl you over. Here the aromas are light and jammy, with strawberry. The body is medium in weight and intensity, with pure but basic cherry, raspberry and plum flavors. Like all other parts of the wine, the finish is easy and clean, with carry-over flavors of berry fruit.

Starts with peppery, leafy aromas that morph toward dry and earthy. The palate, like with all of Torres’ basic ’07 wines, is crisp and acidic, which brings tang to the wine’s red cherry and plum flavors. Spicy, peppery and fresh on the finish.
