Born from an historic partnership between two titans of wine, the legendary Marchesi Antinori of Tuscany and America's acclaimed Chateau Ste. Michelle, Col Solare represents the ultimate fusion of Old World elegance and New World intensity. The inaugural vintage was 1995 with a simple mission: to craft a world-class, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon blend that perfectly expresses the power of Washington terroir with the refined structure of Italian tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCol Solare's estate vineyard is nestled in the tiny, intensely warm Red Mountain AVA. Its unique, nutrient-poor, sandy soils and intense diurnal temperature shifts produce small, thick-skinned berries. This results in wines with concentrated fruit flavor, deep color, and powerful, yet supple, tannins. The vineyard was planted using the same high-density and radial specifications utilised in Antinori’s own celebrated Tuscan and Umbrian estates, ensuring that the fruit expresses its full, complex potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Antinori family acquired full ownership of the Col Solare estate in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"col-solare-red-mountain-cabernet-sauvignon-estate-red","title":"Col Solare Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Col Solare Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc. The 2019 vintage was crafted by Col Solare winemaker, Stephanie Cohen, in partnership with Renzo Cotarella, Chief Winemaker and CEO of Marchesi Antinori. Col Solare expresses the bold vision of the Antinori family to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon of unparalleled elegance and intensity that captures the essence of the acclaimed terroir of Washington’s Red Mountain AVA. The 2019 Col Solare pours a deep, opaque garnet. The complex bouquet immediately reveals the depth of the Red Mountain terroir with powerful aromas of cassis, ripe black plum, and dark cherry, supported by nuanced layers of baking spice, cocoa, and cedar. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated, and beautifully structured. While immensely powerful, it showcases a velvety texture and an elegant, seamless integration of oak. The finish is extraordinary long, persistent, and savoury with fine-grained, firm tannins that promise a magnificent evolution in the cellar.
