Col Solare Shining Hill Red

Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, dark color and a nuanced nose that combines blackberry, cranberry, and raspberry whispers with subtle flavors of graphite, potting soil, and cedar. The zest is high, and the tannins are high, giving the wine a dry and intense character. The body is medium, and the suggestions are voluptuous and complex, with layers of intense chocolate, vanilla, leather, tobacco, and blackberry. The conclusion is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste of ash and blistered red bell pepper. Overall, this wine is a full bodied and well-rounded experience that will appeal to many wine enthusiasts, uniquely those who enjoy full-bodied reds.

Graceful outcome from the Antinori/Ch. St. Michelle blend, with a elegant evenness of the Bordeaux style. A pleasing conclusion; this should benefit from a few more vintages to fully express its potential.

Lush and sophisticated wine with a deep, smooth texture. The nose is marked by by a sweet and fruity raspberry character, with understated notes of vanilla and a touch of spice. The sensation is medium-bodied, with a soft and rounded ending that is both cedar and black cherry in nature.
