Col Solare

90 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '02 Col Solare is lean and austere, this one aims for subtle and delivers a beautifully proportioned package; refreshing acidity to support the dark berry and dusky flavors.

93 PTS WINE & SPIRITS. The '03 Col Solare is classical in its elegance; the wine's earthen brown spice that supports lean black cherry flavors kissed by oak; flavors feel lithe; astonishing length.

90 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '08 Col Solare Red has a generous, silky core of ripe currant and blackberry flavors; a hint of mint on the smoky finish; blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot, Cab Franc, and Syrah.

94 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. The '05 Col Solare is structured and powerful; aromas of wood smoke, mineral, spice box, black currant, blackberry; full bodied and layered, like a top level Pauillac.

88 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '99 Col Solare is firm and focused, built for balance over power, with an undercurrent of black cherry and currant fruit; echoes on the chewy finish.

A high impact Bordeaux style wine, the Col Solare forwards the agruement that Washington State is become one of the leaders in this category of wine.
