The quality of the 2009 vintage is reflected in this value-priced Toro that’s full and medicinal but also balanced and rewarding. Flavors of medicinal red-berry fruit are mixed with thicker, chocolaty notes, while the finish is bold, grabby and solid. A blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha.——M.S.(12/15/2010)—— 86

Lacks freshness; pickled and leathery, with heavy, bruising tannins. Dull, pounding flavors of plum and prune are short and fierce. Rough country wine. ——M.S.(6/1/2010)—— 81

The 2004 Cano (75% Tempranillo and 25% Grenache) offers up sweet and sour cherry scents intertwined with underbrush and spice in a medium-bodied, fruity style. Consume it over the next several years. Importer: David Shiverick, Langdon-Shiverick, Cleveland, OH; tel. (216) 861-6800
