The new vintage of a favorite Spanish red!

Prima Toro 2018: 92 points, classic character, still only $19.98!

"It's a blend of Tinta de Toro (a.k.a. Tempranillo) and 15% Garnacha and other varieties...it's creamy but has more integrated oak...this has an approachable profile that is aromatic and floral, and it's juicy and has a succulent palate. It's fruit-driven and polished by one year in bottle. This has to be one of the finest Primas to date." —Wine Advocate, 92 points

Long-time customers and Spanish wine lovers know the wines of Bodegas y Vinedos San Roman, a family-owned winery founded by iconic winemaker Mariano Garcia in 1998, and since joined by his sons Alberto and Eduardo.  Mariano's vision was to produce world-class wines that balanced freshness and longevity, in contrast to the renowned power of the wines of Toro (Toro, in Castilla y Leon in north-western Spain, is known for powerful, full-bodied reds made from "Tinta de Toro"- the local name for Tempranillo).  Prima is the estate's entry-level wine, costing a fraction of its big brothers, San Román and Cartago Paraje de Pozo.  But this is no ordinary Spanish table wine; it routinely earns multiple 90+-point scores in every vintage.  The 2018 Prima Toro is no exception, scoring 92-points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and 92 points from View from the Cellar.

As we noted above, the Toro region is known for big, powerful, expressive reds, and Bodegas y Vinedos San Roman certainly delivers on that score.  Don't let their Prima bottling's "entry-level" designation fool you; this is a wine that consistently delivers above its price point.  "The wine comes in at 14.5 percent octane and offers up a fine nose of black cherries, plums, cigar wrapper, a nice touch of soil, and a gentle framing of nutty oak. On the palate, the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with good focus and grip, fine nascent complexity and a long, ripely tannic and nicely balanced finish" according to View from the Cellar, which awarded the wine 92 points. "This carries its octane very well indeed, and though there is a hint of backend heat, the wine will age very gracefully and is quite impressive."  The 2018 Prima offers a rare combination that is very difficult to find in the world of fine wine: power and finesse.

Prima Toro is one of our favorite wines, and we have now carried ten consecutive vintages of this world-class bargain.  Year after year, it serves to introduce our customers to top-notch Tempranillo and the richness of Toro, at an approachable price.  And that's exactly what the 2018 vintage delivers!  Prima has been a customer favorite at Finewine.com for years, so we try to keep it below $25 a bottle if at all possible.  Our regular price of $22.99 is a bargain, but our Wine of the Week price of just $19.98 is an absolute steal!  We always have strong demand for this wine, so if you want your share, don't delay.  Order online now, call 301-987-5933, or stop by the store today!
