"(2021) The original and classic Spanish red, in production since the 1950s and still with a small plastic bull attached (though these days it's an eco-friendly plastic). It's a blend of mostly Grenache with Carignan. A little darker in colour than Running with Bulls, there's a plum jam note on the nose, perhaps also a little darker in character, a little leather baked in there too. Equally sweet fruited on the palate, the style is remarkably similar really with copious ripe fruits, creamy background tannins and soft acidity for crowd-pleasing appeal."

"(2020) An absolute classic, made by the Torres family in Spain since the 1950s and yes, don't worry, still with a small eco-friendly plastic bull attached, despite the fact this is now under screwcap and thoroughly modern in style. It's a blend of 65% Grenache with 35% Carignan, and has a enjoyale blend of copious, sweet, buoyant red and black fruits that really brough a smile to my face, along with a bit of rustic grip adding some lovely mouthfeel and food friendliness. There's a litte spice, and little briarwood but it finishes balanced and fruity. Watch the video for more information and food matching ideas."

"Moderately leafy and brambly smelling, this is supported by its berry aroma. It feels edgy and juicy, with tangy, herbal raspberry and plum flavors. The finish is quick and snappy, with a hint of tomato and lasting green flavor."

"A bit minty and sharp on the bouquet, with a tight, angular palate featuring red plum, spice and cherry flavors. Juicy, bright, active and zesty, with some scour to the finish. Gets better as it breathes."

"Starts with peppery, leafy aromas that morph toward dry and earthy. The palate, like with all of Torres' basic '07 wines, is crisp and acidic, which brings tang to the wine's red cherry and plum flavors. Spicy, peppery and fresh on the finish."

"A perennial Best Buy, Sangre de Toro always delivers a quality red-wine experience that does not bowl you over. Here the aromas are light and jammy, with strawberry. The body is medium in weight and intensity, with pure but basic cherry, raspberry and plum flavors. Like all other parts of the wine, the finish is easy and clean, with carry-over flavors of berry fruit."

"Stocky and warm, with mild baked-fruit aromas and a hint of bramble. This venerable table wine is made fromGarnacha and 35 Cariñena, and from 2005 it's pretty much on the money. Expect earthy, mildly brambly flavors, lively acidity and soft tannins. Good for a wide range of simple foods and appetizers."

"Open and a bit hot, with raspberry, cherry and bold acidity. The body is full, bordering on chunky and big. There's little in the way of nuance in this bistro-style red, but it taste nice and will wash down munchies like chorizo or pizza with no problem."

"If your local wine shop carries a single Spanish wine, this one's probably it--and it's no wonder why. This Garnacha-Cariñena blend is an easy quaffer, Beaujolais-weight, and probably best appreciated by wine newbies who like a little sweetness in their glass. It offers raspberry, plum and strawberry flavors, kept in check by a dose of oak. Drink now. --D.M."

"Earth, mushroom and raspberry aromas open the show for this popular blend of Garnacha and Cariñena. Red raspberry flavors are most prominent on the palate, while the chunky finish is big but not terribly classy. This seems too awkward to rate higher, but it does have its merits."
