A SPANISH NO-BRAINER!
1999 MONTE TORO ‘Seleccion’ Crianza
$9.95 BTL./$119.40 CASE!
It has been 6 years, 11 months, 2 weeks & 5 days since we had a DEAL that was this good! Not that I have been counting; I have a life. Still, the time has not sped by. We revere the deals we get on Bordeaux, we adore the half priced dessert wines we find, but a deal from Toro is extra special, in a class of it’s own. We featured this wine over 1 year ago for $17.95 per bottle & sold over 35 cases. The importer has new a new vintage to pick up. So, what we get is a wine, which while it can continue to be cellared for 6-8 more years, that it drinking better than the forthcoming 2003 at less than half the price. THIS IS A NO-BRAINER!
This from our original offering….We are proud to be the Spanish Wine Headquarters of the West Coast! But, EVEN we could never get the Monte Toro out of Spain. The Toro region in Spain lies to the west of Ribera del Duero & produces some of the Richest wines in all of Spain. This producer, Ramon Ramos Monte produces just over 1,000 cases all from his own Tempranillo vineyards which are now just over 75+ years. This estate cuts no corners; aged 14 months in New French oak barrels, bottled unfined & unfiltered, and the yields are among the lowest in the zone!
This is a great Cellar Protector for enjoying over the next 6-8. Roasted black raspberry, dark chocolate, mineral and smoky oak that is perfectly integrated. Lush & mouthfilling but also sappy and vibrant. Finishes will extremely fine, soft tannins and slow building persistence. This wine is a real crowdpleaser! The finish is extremely rich, long & satisfying. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO LOVE SPANISH WINES & ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO WANT TO BE INTRODUCED TO SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL!
