Enter the realm of zen punk with the 2022 Taō del Toro from Paso Robles, a captivating creation from one of California's top wineries. This collector wine defies tradition with its unique blend of 50% Tempranillo and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering a harmonious fusion of flavors with a bold 15.0% alcohol by volume.
In this unconventional blend, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, symbolized by the Toro (Bull) in Spanish culture, come together in a mesmerizing dance of contrasts and complements. Despite their differences, they find balance, creating a wine that's both powerful and graceful, making it a standout choice for steakhouse connoisseurs.
What sets this wine apart is its zen punk twist: while the Cabernet Sauvignon matures in 100% French oak, the Tempranillo undergoes a unique aging process in Romanian oak from the Carpathian Mountains. This unexpected pairing elevates the wine's allure, imparting a seductive mouthfeel and an intriguing layer of complexity to each sip.
For an unforgettable dining experience, pair the 2022 Taō del Toro with a Grilled Ribeye, seasoned with inventive rubs, cooked over an open flame. Let this wine guide you to embrace the unexpected, finding tranquility in chaos and discovering beauty in the unconventional.
