2005 Bodegas Sierra Salinas Casa Mira
93 pts (WA) The 2005 Mira is 65% Monastrell, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10%
Garnacha Tintorera aged in 60-70% new French oak. Deep crimson-colored,
the wine has an excellent bouquet of pain grille, mineral/creosote,
black cherry, and blueberry. This leads to a smooth-textured, focused,
elegant effort with ample spicy fruit, very good depth and breadth, and
a long, pure finish. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 6-8 years.
