A year or two ago when Paul Hobbs began consulting for Toso things changed for the better. This is the rare Best Buy that can swim with the big fish and give them a run for the money. Pop the cork an…

Yeasty, fresh-baked bread aromas, followed by an impressively fresh wine full of white fruits; white currants and pink grapefruit follow on the palate. It's well rounded with a soft aftertaste and we…

This full-bodied blend of grapes from a wide assortment of top vineyards shows fine acidity, a good phenolic frame of citrus rind, and core flavors of lemon and grapefruit, green apple and white peac…

Still in its infancy, this opens with ripe fruit aromas of blackberry and wild berry followed by touches of sweet coffee or chocolate-covered hazelnut. There's a nice plushness and richness to the bo…

This is a tropical-fruited wine, with mango and sweet peach notes showing the wine's richness. As a complement, there is the taut green-fruit acidity that's bright and fresh. The two together lend a…

A fresh and textural wine, this puts a spicy spin on citrus rind, peach and apricot flavors. There's an intriguing hint of white pepper as well, and an overall sensation of density, intensity and exc…

Golden color and hints of oatmeal on the nose signal some evolution. The palate rewards this notion with rounded harmony: there is the merest touch of dark honey to the autolytic notes of wholemeal b…

An aromatic hint of quince dances over the various zesty citrus flavors on this slender, crisp and light yet expressive Riesling. The palate is governed entirely by lemon zest freshness and lingers b…

A rather neutral nose leads to a brisk and citric palate that is buffered by leesy texture and just a touch of smoke. This is so subtly done that there is quite a thrill between lemony, bright freshn…

All varietal, this blend of fruit from seven vineyards across the valley shows nuances of cocoa, earth, coffee, herbs and cherry. There's a lot of generosity and midpalate depth to the flavors along…

There's a nice touch of green pasilla chile on the nose of this wine, with red currant undertones. The peppery elements consume the palate as well, giving it a more distinct and food-friendly nature…

Forward and nicely rounded off, this brings spicy cherry and cranberry fruit front and center. There are well-integrated streaks of herb, a dash of stem, and a dusting of white pepper. Give it an hou…

Blending Baga and Touriga Nacional, this wine delivers a big sweep of red fruits and spice. Juicy acidity bursts from the glass. The firm tannins of both grapes are still there and need time to round…

Don't be misled by the low alcohol; there's more than a smidgen of residual sugar in this wine. It works to good effect, adding richness to the fruit and roundness to the mouthfeel. Pear, peach and a…

A very aromatic, wood aged wine. It shows great richness and spice from the wood, along with white fruits. The wine also has freshness, in the form of lime and plums. There is a taut, lively aftertas…

Ripe, heady, slightly malty aromas of blackberry and plum set this on its way. In the mouth, there are scratchy, unresolved tannins and acidity to deal with along with salty flavors of oak, plum and…

There is a fine touch of spice in this wine. Bright and tangy, it is also full with white fruits, ripe acidity and a warm while zesty character. Still young and zesty, the wine will soften over the n…

Det finnes ikke mange bedre verdier i rosé musserende viner enn denne. Hint av toast og sitrus tilfører nyanser til jordbærlukt på nesen, mens brioche-noter gir dybde til ganen. Den er litt kremet i…

Det mangler ikke på modenhet i denne enkeltvinmarks-Toroen, som er noe varm og vill. Nesen er full av krydder, varme og simmerende mørk frukt, ledsaget av en dyster, tungt konsentrert smak. Vinen bal…

Med sin høye andel Merlot er dette en smidig, rik vin, jevn og moden. Ja, det finnes tanniner, men den syltetøyaktige frukten myker opp de mørke tonene. Den bør lagres, men er ikke for lang tids lagr…

Hvis du liker en tradisjonelt stilet Rioja, vil denne være svært tiltalende. Aromaer av dill, tobakk og tørket frukt er fristende, mens ganen beveger seg mot subtile frukter, mer tobakk og fint samme…

Rik, kraftig og tett, denne viser betydelig eleganse samt styrke. Fruktene er svarte, med en sterk syre, men også konsentrert. Det er et jevnt lag med treverk som tilfører kompleksitet samt åpner opp…

En deilig, glatt, moden vin, nesten frodig med sine overdådige tanniner og saftige bringebærfrukter. Det finnes bare en kjerne av fasthet inne i all denne mykheten, men dette forblir en umiddelbart a…

Denne vinen gjør det bedre når alkoholnivået er høyt, noe som modner og beriker frukten. Her er alkoholen 15 %, og de saftige smakene spenner fra bjørnebær- og morbærsyltetøy gjennom sjokolade og søt…
