"Spicy red and black fruits, leafy herbs, leather, and loamy earth notes all define the 2020 Crianza Toro, a round, supple, nicely fruited, textured red that has charm and character. All Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo), it's perfect for drinking over the coming 4-5 years."

"The color of blueberry preserves, this wine offers a bouquet of blackberry, coffee bean and dried thyme. Coffee transitions to the palate as well, joined by cassis, purple plum, black olive paste, orange zest and cocoa butter flavors, wrapped in a cocoon of velvety tannins that drift into a lasting mocha-scented finish. - Mike DeSimone"

"Big, rich, ripe nose. Broad on the palate showing dark red fruit on a sauve, nicely concentrated palate. Persistent, rich finish. - Don WINKLER"

"Dark-berry, dried-fruit, raisin and coffee aromas follow through to a full body with lots of fruit and a fig and date aftertaste. Very ripe style. A little overdone. Drink now."

- James Suckling (September 2021), 89 pts

"Aged in American oak for just over eight months, notes of balsamic, sweet tobacco, juicy plum, and baking spices make for a compelling Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo). The wine’s elegance shows through a burst of pomegranate and white pepper with chalky tannins backing up the finish."

"This deep ruby-colored wine has an enticing bouquet of blackberry, creosote and pine needle. The nice mix of fruit and savory flavors includes black cherry, cassis, dried Mediterranean herbs, eucalyptus and black olive alongside vigorous tannins that linger on the palate. — Mike DeSimone"

- Wine Enthusiast (May 2023), 91 pts

"Biscuit-like aromas with grilled nuts and chocolate oak-influence, across ripe dark berries. The palate has a very succulent, sweet-fruit core with plenty of ripe mulberries and plums. Supple tannins. Drink or hold."

"Cropped from a warm and dry year, the 2015 Finca Sobreño Crianza is a powerful red with aromas of raspberry juice and aromatic herbs with a spicy twist. It's medium bodied, with fine tannins and good freshness. A very accessible and easy to drink crianza. 500,000 bottles produced. - Luis Gutiérrez"

"Moody, deep dark fruit with slightly smoky and mineral aromas, leading to a palate that has a sweeping, lithe and juicy tannin layer and some impressive depth. This delivers plenty on the palate. Drink or hold."

"The 2014 Crianza Toro (100% Tempranillo) is a nicely concentrated, medium-bodied red that has loads to love in its dark fruits, leafy herbs, pepper, and damp earth-driven aromas and flavors. I love its texture, it’s nicely balanced, and it has outstanding length on the finish."

"The Rising Star of Toro"
"Vanilla, oak, toast, dark berries and medicinal aromas. A rich palate with firm tannins and savoury texture but freshness and fruit to boot."

"This wine's fiery nose holds oak spice, red fruit, tobacco and chocolate aromas. It's full and grippy on the palate, with hard tannins. Oaky flavors of vanilla and cocoa bolster moderately ripe cassis and plum fruit. A creamy quality persistents on the finish."

"Opaque ruby. Heady cherry, dark berry, vanilla and violet pastille qualities on the oak-spiced nose. At once rich and lively; a firm spine of acidity provides lift to ripe cassis, blueberry and vanilla flavors. Closes with gentle tannic grip and good persistence, leaving dark fruit and licorice notes behind. - Josh Raynolds"

"The harmonious 2012 Finca Sobreño Crianza has aromas of berries and spices with hints of cereals. The palate is also quite balanced, soft with polished tannins and with bright cherry flavors. This is a textbook Crianza from Toro."
