robmillis Does not like this wine:
November 7, 2015 - The sweetness of the (presumed) fortification doesn't play out well with the acidity and bitter undertones, yet the bitter elements almost beg for a mixer. Not ideal.
Nougat, almond, toasted cashew, bitter roots. -

February 28, 2013 - Slight volatility, nougatty taffy nutty profile, strikes me as more marsala-like than sherry, though neither is perhaps a fair comparison. Maybe some chicken bouillon. I don't love it, though.

November 27, 2010 - A blend of Verdejo and Viura from the Rueda region grown in clay soils 1,968 feet above sea level. I believe the producers name is Vevi and the winemaker is Antonio Sanz but it is bottled at Vinos y Viñedos Nuestros in Valladolid. The vines average 50 years old and yields are very low, the wine is made in a similar style to sherry particularly a Fino, as the wines ferments under the local flor (yeast) for up to 2 years. The solara dates back to 1954 hence the name of the wine. At 15% abv I believe the wine is lightly fortified. The nose is oxidized with baked apple notes and a touch of caramel and the wine is a dark golden color. On the palate the wine reminds me more of an amontillado or Palo Cortado style though not as nutty and the finish is dry with only a slight amount of residual sugar. Medium bodied with more acidity than sherry this is the older style of "rancio" wine that was once in fashion in Rueda but sadly the style is dying out. I found a 375 ML half bottle at the Spanish Table in Berkeley for $20 US. I'm a big fan!
