About this Item
Bodegas San Román is a well-regarded wine producer based in the Toro region of Castilla y León, in northwestern Spain. It is owned by Bodegas Mauro, and was established in 1997 to capture the soil characteristics of the Toro region – loose and stony with clay subsoil that crucially retains water, essential in such a hot and dry region.
San Román Toro 2012 represents an excellent example of Toro wine, showcasing the rich flavors, bold character, and potential for aging that are characteristic of the region's wines.

Critics Ratings
‘(90% tempranillo and 10% garnacha; aged in two- and three-year-old French and American oak barrels): Inky ruby. Dark berries, mint, licorice and game on the pungent nose. Smooth and densely packed, with ripe blueberry and blackberry fruit complicated by smoky notes of mocha and chocolate. The gamey quality comes back on the finish, which is firmed by youthfully chewy tannins. On the wild side; this Toro wine drinks nicely with some aeration.’ - Josh Raynolds, Vinous ( Sep 2014)
