The 2005 Una Cepa is dark ruby-colored with a sprightly perfume of cedar, tobacco, spice box, lilacs, and assorted blue and black fruits. Supple-textured and medium to full-bodied, it has attractive flavors and good length but could use more depth. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.
The winery produces two wines from Toro, located directly west of Ribera del Duero, under the Arbucala label.
