2019 Sierra Salinas Mo Mourvèdre Red Wine – 91 Pt JS Rated Murcia

Discover the acclaimed 2019 Sierra Salinas Monastrell from Spain’s sun-drenched Alicante region – an award-winning red wine delivering exceptional quality at an accessible price point. Crafted entirely from old-vine Mourvèdre grapes, this vintage has earned 91 points from James Suckling, who praises its alluring aromas of ripe blackberries layered with hints of toffee and dark chocolate. Experience a beautifully balanced palate bursting with clean, bright fruit, supported by very fine tannins and a refreshingly vibrant finish that makes every sip ‘yummy to drink’.

Jeb Dunnuck highlights this Spanish Monastrell as a consistent ‘good value’, noting its enticing bouquet of red and blue fruits complemented by floral violet notes and a distinctive peppery herb character. Medium-bodied yet richly expressive, it offers a velvety texture with juicy vibrancy, making it delightfully drinkable now. While perfectly enjoyable today, Dunnuck recommends enjoying this everyday luxury red wine optimally from 2022 onwards over the next 3-4 years.

At 14.5% alcohol, this versatile Alicante red wine pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. Its combination of critical acclaim, complex flavor profile, and supple structure offers remarkable value for enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated yet approachable bottle.
