Hacienda Solano’s signature wine from 60+ year old vines in La Aguilera, one of the cooler and most sought after areas in Ribera del Duero. Elegant, balanced, very little oak. Hints of licorice, herbal (mint) notes. Somewhat spicy finish — 6 years ago

Very tasty, and a great option when you don't know exactly what you want, but it's in the red direction... Might be exactly what you're looking for — 9 years ago

Balanced. Nice tannins. Full and rich. A top valley wine. Berry, berry good. A great plummy and cherry infused element. Robust but tastes yummy. — 9 years ago

Pre-release party in alameda. All the 2016s.

My rankings:
1) brawler- 94 (2nd biggest wine)
2) black tie - 93 (1st biggest wine)
3) instigator - 93 (3rd biggest wine- more elegant than previous vintages. While it used to be all solano county syrah, it is now blended with a lodi vineyard)
4) truant - 92-93 - solid gsm
5) brat - gs that i need to try again. The oak was coming off a little strong on the small taste i had.

Hear the shake ridge syrah in barrel is midnight black in color and going to be a rockstar. Looking forward to seeing what he does with that vineyard. — 7 years ago

Complex frontal attack of papaya and tobacco, flanked mid-palate with cocoa beans and saddle leather, finishing long and smooth with Medjool dates and French Roast Papuan Arabica coffee beans. Check out this wine on Delectable! http://del.ec/nLgGQ

Very tasty now, but for me, needs more time. Would love to revisit in 5 years. I'm loving the gnarliness factor, and fruity red fruit notes. Super concentrated. Wow! Rich deep blood red berries with a solid core of pitch black gnarliness, and screaming finish. Will try to review tomorrow, on the 2nd day. — 10 years ago
