2005 Valle De Salinas

Valle de Salinas

Origin: Yecla, Spain

Where: Highland Wine & Crystal

Price: $13.99

Next time: Get a glass!

This new wine was enjoyable, although definitely on the powerful side. Totally understandable given the blend of Monastrell, Cab, and Syrah. A decent amount of spice and tannins, it’s definitely not for the faint at heart.

From the back of the bottle, a few notes:

60% Monastrell, 20% Syrah, and 20% Tempranillo -  this wine is aged for three months in new oak barrels.
