Fresh, spiced, fragrant.
Jammy red cherry and plum aromas are woven with baking spices, licorice root, coffee and bold minty tones atop blueberry and fragrant violets. It's medium+ bodied with notable fresh red fruit flavours along with spice. Lighter bodied than the Toso reserva, it's a more affordable but still tasty weekday option.
A wine for grilled meats, roasted mushroom dishes or hard cheeses or hearty chili.

Fragrant, generous, juicy.
Always tasty and well constructed, the Toso wines offer exceptional value. This Cabernet show off black raspberry and cassis aromas woven with baking spices, licorice, vanilla, mocha and pipe tobacco. The palate is sweet and fresh like the nose; it is awash with wild fresh purple berries dusted with cocoa. It's pleasing and juicy with fine tannins and a persistent finish.
Pair: Barbecued anything, hearty pastas and burgers.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Undressed.

Spicy, value, savoury.
Great new label--eye catching and clean.
Expect plush aromas of blackberries and black cherry, vanilla, chocolate and violets, roasted herbs, peppery spices and toasted oak. The palate has a distinct saltiness that's layered with wild berries, cocoa, espresso and oak spice. Great value, a solid weekday red for BBQ, roasted mushroom dishes or hard cheeses or bean chili.

Spicy, toasted, savoury.
Expect a smoky nose of meat, spice rub, leather and tobacco held up with a lifted core of blackberries and chocolate-rich mocha. Slick and supple boasts a substantial palate. It is weighty and peppery with a hint of fleur de sel and a charred, toasted finish.
