The entry-level 2009 Tinto Roble was aged in barrel for 6 months. Toasty black fruits, espresso, and licorice inform the nose of this dense and sweetly-fruited wine from the great 2009 vintage. In the glass it shows outstanding depth, concentration, and 1-2 years aging potential although there is no need to defer gratification. It is a good value for drinking over the next 5-6 years. Bodega Rejadorada is a small producer making wine in the DO of Toro since 1999, all from 100% Tinta de Toro.Importer: Casa Ventura Imports, Bellingham, WA; Tel.
