San Román 2013 is a single-vineyard wine from the Toro DO, crafted from 100% Tinta de Toro grapes. This vintage showcases the rich terroir of a vineyard situated at high altitude, allowing for optimal diurnal temperature variation. The wine undergoes a selective hand harvest, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. San Román is produced by Bodegas San Román, founded by renowned winemaker Mariano García, who was instrumental in the renaissance of Ribera del Duero wines.
93 Vinous
(aged for two years in 75 percent French and 25 percent American oak barrels, half of them new) Inky purple. Heady cherry, dark berry, vanilla and violet pastille qualities on the oak-accented nose. At once rich and energetic; a firm spine of acidity provides lift to sweet cassis, blueberry and vanilla flavors. Closes with youthful tannic grip and impressive persistence, leaving dark berry and licorice candy notes behind.Josh Raynolds1st January 2017

The 2013 San Román was produced with fruit from older vineyards in Toro. In 2012 they started reducing the amount of the new oak in this wine and the change is quite noticeable. There is something leafy and floral showing elegance within the power that the place provides naturally. 2013 was quite different in Toro from Ribera del Duero, here the cooler years are a plus, as they balance the extra ripeness the place provides. In 2013 there was no rain during the harvest and the grapes were very healthy. There are some fine tannins and the profile of a more austere and transparent vintage, a mineral year. But it does have the smokey and slightly wild character of Toro. 87,000 bottles produced.Luis Gutierrez1st March 2017
