Torres, Priorat (Spain) 2009

Jan 11, 2012

By Robert Whitley

The Torres family moved a short distance south from its home base in Penedes to create this lovely red-Rhone style blend from Priorat. Easy to drink now, Salmos is rich and full-bodied, with sleek, supple tannins and layers of plum, blackberry and currant fruit. The wine exhibits savory notes of fresh herbs and bramble, with hints of chocolate and spice on the nose. Serve it with grilled or roasted meats.
