(7/2020) Working in Rueda and Toro, Isaac Cantalapiedra is drawing a lot of well-deserved acclaim, and is especially lauded for his Verdejo and his Tinto de Toro (Tempranillo). The Arenisca is 95% Tinto de Toro with 5% co-planted white grapes, fermented with wild yeasts and raised in used French oak for 11 months then bottled unfiltered. It's a stunner - extremely expressive with aromas of dried cherry, fig, crushed granite and dried leaves followed by black cherry cola flavors and chalky tannins. In contrast with much of the Tempranillo from Toro, Arenisca's medium-bodied structure is balanced by refreshing acidity and tuned toward drinkability.

(3/1/2018) "The 2016 Tinta de Toro Tritón (100% Tinta de Toro) comes all from very old, ungrafted vineyards and was brought up mostly in used barrels. This beautifully sexy red boasts smoking good notes of ripe plums, black cherries, liquid violets, and loads of scrub brush and dried earth. Full-bodied and silky on the palate, with fine, fine tannin, it has remarkable purity, no hard edges, and enough structure to warrant another year in bottle. It's a seriously impressive wine. Maturity: 2019 - 2027."
