Top 100 Wine: 2006 Mas Doix Salanques

by Summer Martin (B-21) under Miscellaneous

Coming in at #53 is Spain’s 2006 Salanques by Mas Doix.  The Doix family has been making wine for 5 generations in Priorat where the vineyards of Mas Doix represent Priorat at its best, with slate soils and very old vines. Salanques is a “mini” Mas Doix and has always been a favorite of mine. It is an awesome blend of of Grenache that will please many of you Rhone Rangers out there.  ¡Feliz Navidad!

Check out Wine Spectator’s review:

     ”A plush texture carries rich flavors of brandied cherry, dark chocolate, cocoa and mountain herbs in this expressive red. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the finish is bright and juicy. Drink now through 2014.”  92 Points, The Wine Spectator

Not only does Spectator think its great, but Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate rated it 93 Points.  Top 100 Wines are a great way to kickoff the new year.  Cheers!
