March 22, 2024 - Dark cherry and currant on the nose, immediately after decanting due to a broken cork. Showing its age, very dark, showing a little browning in color. Complex overripe berries, still has soft tannins present. Lingers but a bit played out.

February 27, 2023 - Day 1: 92 pts.
Day 2 : 93 pts. Quiet surprised from being a 2007 vintage but it showed a better integration and balance at the palate.

9/30/2010 (link) ***** points(Col Solare Red Wine Columbia Valley) A thrilling nose with aromas of spice, vanilla, black cherry and licorice. Big and power packed on the palate with tightly wound fruit, beautifully integrated tannins, and silky oak flavors. A wine with a long life ahead of it. Best I have had from this winery. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Klipsun, Cold Creek, Andrews Horse Heaven, Weinbau, Hedges, Four Feathers, Stone Tree, and Coyote Canyon vineyards. Aged in 85% French and 15% American new oak barrels. 14.5% alcohol.

8/27/2009 (link) ***** points(Col Solare Col Solare Columbia Valley) A quiet nose with a fair amount of vanilla and some banana notes along with other aromas of a young wine that still needs to settle down. On the taste, opens and expands, hangs and lingers. The best of the vintages sampled. 75% Cabernet; 20% Merlot; 5% Cabernet Franc.
