Deep garnet in color. Incredibly smooth with notes of plum, currant, and blackberry. — 3 years ago
This is an excellent wine, I just don’t love this style of Syrah. Big, opulent, silky, the tannins are fairly well integrated. Drank it by itself, maybe a food pairing would help. Cabernet and Cab blends are where Col Solare shines for me. — a year ago
The 2010 Solare was an outstanding vintage, made out of blend of mainly Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera. Its beautiful ruby color has started to show tints of garnet on the rim, the nose is full of aromas of cranberries, tart cherries, plums all in different stages. The palate is full, balanced, rich with lively acidity, soft tannins and a long complex finish.
I personally enjoy wines with age as I like to explore how the flavors and aromas change over time. In this one you can clearly experience the fruits going from fresh to dry. ⏰ We let it open in a decanter for a few hours and after serving, it continue to develop in the glass. — 4 years ago
The 2017 ‘Component Collection’ Malbec shows bright violets with blackberry compote and white pepper dusted mocha tones alongside scorched earth that all take shape in the glass. The palate is plush showing a gorgeous sense of richness and complexity. Blueberry cordial and Black Forest Cake flavors march on parade with espresso bean and dark currants on the palate. The length here is really good, as this beautiful and decadent Malbec wine will provide drinking enjoyment for the next fifteen years. Drink 2021-2036- 94 — 4 years ago

Dark and jammy but not overpowering on the palate; almost medium-full bodied. Quite delicious 🍷 — 5 months ago
