Sierra Salinas Description
Ripe dark berry and floral scents show very good clarity and are complemented by suggestions of vanilla, exotic spice and wood smoke notes. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet, mineral-laced cherry and black raspberry flavors that tighten up slowly with air. Shows impressive depth as well as liveliness and finishes long and seamless, with lingering floral and smoke notes.

Coming from limestone soils and all Monastrell, raised in new, second, third, and fourth-use French oak barriques, the 2020 Mira Salinas Monastrell sports a vivid purple hue and offers remarkable purity in its crème de cassis, crushed violets, spice box, crushed stone, and graphite nuances. It's concentrated, medium to full-bodied, has remarkable purity, and ripe tannins.
Vinous Media: 91 Points
The 2020 Monastrell Mira Salinas is sourced from Alicante. Aged for one year in oak barrels, this purple wine offers aromas of thyme, bay, violet and plum. Dry and rich, the palate features a slightly uplifted acidity that invigorates the wine. Complex, with a solar core, this is an intense and captivating red.
