WINE DESCRIPTION

Col Solare Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by a joint venture between two renowned wine producers, Chateau Ste. Michelle and Marchesi Antinori. The grapes are sourced from the Red Mountain AVA in Washington State, known for its warm days and cool nights, which allow for optimal ripening and flavor development. The vineyard features well-draining soils and a unique microclimate that contributes to the wine's complexity and depth. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, and a long, smooth finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Col Solare Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and powerful red wine, with intense aromas of ripe blackberry, black currant, and cedar.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and robust, with flavors of dark berries, espresso, and earthy tobacco. Oak aging adds complexity and depth, while the tannins are firm and well-integrated. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of sweet chocolate. Enjoy this lush and smooth Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled meats, aged cheeses, and hardy stews.
