2020 Toro Loco Utiel-Requena Bobal/Merlot

Dive into deep cherry flavor with this 2020 Toro Loco Bobal-Merlot. Each sip bursts with aromas of fruity raspberry, fragrant violet, and decadent dark chocolate. Subtle hints of plum, leather, and tobacco round out a layered and rewarding sipping experience. This Bobal-Merlot hails from the Utiel-Requena region, located just west of Valencia. The soils here are deep and rich, producing some of the most excellent young and aged wines all around the Mediterranean. The high-altitude vineyards and relatively short growing season results in a robust tannin structure perfectly suited for enthusiasts seeking a bit more complexity in their next bottle of red. This 2020 Bobal/Merlot pairs wonderfully with a number of dishes including tapas, burritos, braised short ribs, or semi-hard cheeses like Edam.
