The 2010 Solare was an outstanding vintage, made out of blend of mainly Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera. Its beautiful ruby color has started to show tints of garnet on the rim, the nose is full of aromas of cranberries, tart cherries, plums all in different stages. The palate is full, balanced, rich with lively acidity, soft tannins and a long complex finish.

I personally enjoy wines with age as I like to explore how the flavors and aromas change over time. In this one you can clearly experience the fruits going from fresh to dry. ⏰ We let it open in a decanter for a few hours and after serving, it continue to develop in the glass.   — 5 years ago

Fantastic bottle aged Nebbiolo from the secret Smerik stash at Solare. Purity and power, rose and tar, translucent brick red, velvet tannins, and a long finish. Perfect with Piemonte comfort food like Ravioli del Plin. — 8 years ago

Now is the time to drink this one. Had along with a Col Solare, and we preferred the latter. — 9 years ago

Château Croix de Labrie, Stella Solare Blanc, Vintage 2018. 13.5% ABV.

Comprised of predominantly Sémillon as well as Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris.

Golden hue; a floral-forward Bordeaux Blanc with a bouquet of orange blossom, jasmine, honeysuckle on the nose and palate, also orange peel, passion fruit, cantaloupe, melon, and wet stone notes. Rich mouthfeel. — 5 years ago

A crisp red wine? Really?? Say it isn't so. Clean. Smooth. Not as suductive as my favorite, Col Solare, but definitely one of my tops. So drinkable! And the temperature is perfect!! — 11 years ago

This is the least expensive wine Col Solare makes, about fiddy. It still fucks. Btw I’m drinking and scrolling and about to check in a LOT of wine sitting in my account I forgot about with extremely suspect notes based purely on drunken memory. 🎉 — 5 years ago

Edna Valley Chardonnay at its finest.
Balanced-Smooth-mellowed acidity but still very brightest. Naturally fermented and aged in concrete. Round-luscious-rich. I'm cooking up a whole branzino in my wood Fired oven. This will pair perfectly. — 9 years ago
