Dark and jammy but not overpowering on the palate; almost medium-full bodied. Quite delicious 🍷 — 4 months ago

This is the least expensive wine Col Solare makes, about fiddy. It still fucks. Btw I’m drinking and scrolling and about to check in a LOT of wine sitting in my account I forgot about with extremely suspect notes based purely on drunken memory. 🎉 — 4 years ago

2017 vintage is still tasting very nice. Again, very good with chicken stir fry. — 4 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

Château Croix de Labrie, Stella Solare Blanc, Vintage 2018. 13.5% ABV.

Comprised of predominantly Sémillon as well as Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris.

Golden hue; a floral-forward Bordeaux Blanc with a bouquet of orange blossom, jasmine, honeysuckle on the nose and palate, also orange peel, passion fruit, cantaloupe, melon, and wet stone notes. Rich mouthfeel. — 4 years ago
