9.1

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Strong fruity nose and full bodied, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black plums, cooked cherries, sweet blackberries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, peppercorn, tobacco leaf and black tea.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Malbec from Red Mountain in Washington State. Extracted and fruit forward.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant and spicy.

A good sipping wine. Rich and in your face kind of wine.

A blend of 96% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in (60% New) French Oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of only 2,800 bottles.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

The 2010 Solare was an outstanding vintage, made out of blend of mainly Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera. Its beautiful ruby color has started to show tints of garnet on the rim, the nose is full of aromas of cranberries, tart cherries, plums all in different stages. The palate is full, balanced, rich with lively acidity, soft tannins and a long complex finish.

I personally enjoy wines with age as I like to explore how the flavors and aromas change over time. In this one you can clearly experience the fruits going from fresh to dry. ⏰ We let it open in a decanter for a few hours and after serving, it continue to develop in the glass.   — 5 years ago

Col Solare Winery Collector's Society Syrah 2022, Red Mountain, Washington State

Deep inky in color with a short purple/ reddish rim.

Strong nose of black currants, oak, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, chocolates, tar, light barnyard and black pepper.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, oak, licorice, earth, black tea, herbs, tar, light vegetables, peppercorn and barnyard.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Syrah from Red Mountain. Well balanced, rich and extracted. Powerful and spicy.

Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already showing complexity. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too.

A nice sipping wine that will also pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

A blend of 93% Syrah and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 18 months in (46% new) French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

This is an excellent wine, I just don’t love this style of Syrah. Big, opulent, silky, the tannins are fairly well integrated. Drank it by itself, maybe a food pairing would help. Cabernet and Cab blends are where Col Solare shines for me. — 2 years ago

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State. Rich and engaging. Elegant and complex.

Needs time to open up properly, so be patient. Fruit forward and spicy.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.

Nicely balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine.
