San Roman Bodegas y Vinedos Prima Toro Tinta de Toro 2017
BOOM! Prima is BACK! Not for the vinously shy or those prone to fainting!
This brilliant, lusty, juicy, shockingly savory, 91-POINT delicious red is produced by the same genius-level producers of the legendary (and super-high-scoring) San Roman wines (which savvy wine collectors snap up every year). 50% OFF is nothing short of no-brainer madness!!
You hear a lot about “BBQ wine” this time of year, and THIS is what you want to be drinking, oh YES! Immensely satisfying, DARK purple-y goodness, this wine just screams out of the bottle with potent, perfumey strawberry essence, mint, violets, plums and licorice ---- hold that thought while we pour another glass, thanks --- astoundingly delish, fresh, alive and silky for such a big red. Amazing at $15!!
Old LBers will know how good this wine is -- for the rest of you, you’ll be asking...”WHY, oh why didn’t I buy more of this???” While it lasts...!

About The Producer
The average age of our vineyards is 35 years old, some of our oldest vines were planted ungrafted because this area was not affected by phylloxera.The soils are loose, stony or sandy depending on the areas as with clay subsoil where the plant can obtain water in times of drought. The varieties and plots are vinified separately to respect the characteristics of the different vineyards.Our wines are structured and elegant, balanced, with refined tannins and deep minerality.
