2006 Col Solare Proprietary Red Columbia Valley

When Piero Antinori signs off on a partnership, you'd better believe things are getting done the right way. Parker's Wine Advocate notes, "The 2006 Col Solare is a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Syrah. The wine was aged in 75% French and 25% American oak, 100% new. Deep crimson-colored, it displays a captivating perfume of sandalwood, lavender, incense, spice box, black cherry, black currant, and a hint of chocolate." This inky juggernaut channels Bordeaux like nobody's business!
