Col Solare Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most sought-after bottles of red wine in the world. Produced in the Red Mountain AVA of Washington State, this wine is a stunning expression of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Its deep, opaque ruby color and complex aromas of black cherry, currant, and tobacco leaf are a prelude to a lush, velvety palate that is full-bodied and packed with flavors of ripe black fruit, cocoa, and spices. The tannins are firm and backbone of the wine, providing both structure and depth to the lengthy finish. Aged in oak barrels for two years, Col Solare Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of incredible elegance and complexity, perfect for special occasions or an indulgent treat for the wine connoisseur.

Tasting Notes

Col Solare is Italian for “shining hill” – an appropriate name for this ultra-luxury Cabernet Sauvignon blend which represents the pinnacle of the talents of two influential wine producers from Italy and America. Tuscany’s Marchesi Antinori and Washington State’s Chateau Ste. Michelle have joined forces to create a premium wine which offers flavours of crushed berries, cassis, and hints of tobacco, along with a silky palate and a lingering finish.

About the Winery

Col Solare is the partnership between two influential wine producers who are recognized leaders in their respective regions: Tuscany's Marchesi Antinori and Washington State's Chateau Ste. Michelle.

Marchese Piero Antinori, known for his lifelong curiosity about how grapes are grown around the world, journeyed to Washington's Columbia Valley in 1992 at the urging of Andre Tchelistcheff, also a wine industry legend and then a consultant to Ste. Michelle Wine Estates.

During that trip, Antinori discovered an emerging wine region supported by the zealous leadership of Chateau Ste. Michelle, the Northwest's oldest and most acclaimed winery.

From its inaugural 1995 vintage, Col Solare's mission has been to unite these two unique viticultural and winemaking cultures to produce world-class Cabernet Sauvignon from the very best Washington fruit.

With opening of a new winery and planting of the estate vineyard on Red Mountain in 2007, that vision has evolved to focus on showcasing the Cabernet Sauvignon of this unique AVA and the specific fruit of the Col Solare estate vineyard.
