RATINGS

94Jeb Dunnuck

...loaded with sweet cassis, toasted spice, dried flowers, and graphite...full-bodied, sweetly fruited, beautifully balanced, and has a great finish...

93James Suckling

This has a wealth of rich and intense dark plums and mulberries that really saturate the sleek and fleshy palate. Impressive concentration in an open-knit and approachable mode...

92The Wine Advocate

...aromas of cassis, blackberry, chocolate and creamy new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and chewy, with plenty of juicy fruit and firm tannin...

92Wine Spectator

Expressive and refined, in an appealingly zesty way, offering lively black cherry, cracked pepper and crushed stone accents that take on richness toward refined tannins.

... Claret-like aromas of cassis, black cherry, cocoa powder, tobacco leaf and spices. Rich, fine-grained wine with lovely fruit sweetness complicated by chocolate and licorice nuances. Conveys a sense of power without any alcoholic excesses. Finishes with substantial but even tannins, a complicating herbal nuance and excellent length. Boasts excellent intensity and clarity...

PRODUCER

Col Solare

Col Solare, located in the Red Mountain appellation of eastern Washington, is a partnership between Marchesi Antinori of Tuscany and Chateau Ste. Michelle, one of Washington’s leading wine producers. Col Solare’s first vintage was 1995, and each year it makes just one wine, always a Cabernet Sauvignon blend. The 2007 vintage, for instance, is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Col Solare has consistently won compliments from reviewers. Wine Advocate awarded the 2005 vintage 94 pts and called it “reminiscent of a top level Pauillac.”

REGION

United States, Washington, Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, Red Mountain

Yakima Valley AVA was the first AVA created in Washington State. The valley, a 600,000-acre area in south central Washington, was granted AVA status in 1983. In 1984 Columbia Valley was given AVA status, and Yakima Valley was enclosed within the Columbia Valley AVA. Nevertheless, Yakima Valley remains home to the largest concentration of vineyards and wineries in the state. There are more than 60 wineries and some 16,000 vineyard acres, and nearly 40% of Washington wines are made with Yakima Valley grapes. The most frequently planted grape is Chardonnay, followed by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaking here dates to 1869, when a winemaker from Alsace planted grape vines. Vineyard planting and wine production plodded along slowly until the early 1980s when numerous modern pioneers started making well-reviewed Yakima Valley wines. Some of the state’s newest, most closely watched appellations, including Red Mountain AVA and Horse Heaven Hills AVA, are contained within Yakima Valley.
