We just received our last drop of 2007 Salanques - our Wine of the Year last year. We received 15 cases in this last drop - our last drop of 30 cases sold out in 7 days! Below is our original e-mail:
We're not big on lists, or points, or force rankings or anything of the sort when it comes to something as subjective as ones taste. That being said, when we first tasted this wine back in August and found out that the retail price was being moved from $50 to $30 we almost fell out of our chair. Mas Doix has long been one of our favorite producers, and Salanques is quite the gem in their portfolio. This rich, dense Priorat is from a brilliant vintage, and at a price that's a remarkable value. That's because Salenques is the young vines version of the great Mas Doix estate bottling in Priorat. So instead of century old vines, these vines are just a bunch of rowdy youngsters at about seventy years of age. Just think...Mas Doix makes a wine called "Doix" that carries a price tag of $110.00. Salanques is the juice that did not make the cut for "Doix" and it is $29.99 per bottle - we are talking extreme value here.
We've got the wine on the machine for you to taste and see for yourself, but we are here to say - based on a case price of $24.99, this is the best $25 wine we have ever offered in our store and is the best wine in terms of the quality to price ratio that we have offered this year. Maybe this will be your first Grenache based wine, maybe this will be your first wine from the Priorat region, but do yourself a favor and grab a bottle of this. This is as close to a sure thing as it gets in the world of wine.
