- Joe's Tasting Note: "Col Solare is a Bordeaux blend but made in a generously US style. Not Napa, but from one of Washington State's finest and warmest appellations, and that comes through in the mocha and cherry and spice over the more familiar notes of blackcurrant. This has an Italian sensibility (made in partnership with the Marchesi Antinori) and gorgeous with steak and salsa verde.
- Col Solare is the partnership between two influential wine producers who are recognized leaders in their respective regions: Tuscany's Marchesi Antinori and Washington State's Chateau Ste. Michelle.
- The 2011 vintage has aromas of black cherry, currants, and blackberry blend with subtle notes of vanilla and milk chocolate.
- Tannins are rich and refined on the finish, a characteristic of Red Mountain fruit, with flavors of berries, black fruit, and coco.
- Food Pairing Suggestions: Brilliant with onglet, rib eye and deep, dark meaty tagines.
