Col Solare
Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Deep purple in color with a purplish/ reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, cooked plums, licorice, oak, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, herbs, coffee and light earth.
Full-bodied and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, spices and green tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State. Elegant and fruit forward. Rich and extracted, chewy and spicy. Nicely balanced and complex, with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Still young, but already very approachable, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 20 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$80.
