Col Solare – 2002 Red Table Wine
Columbia Valley, Washington

Tasting Note:
Concentrated plum, blueberry and black raspberry aromatics are joined by hints of vanilla, spice and cedar. Equally evident on the palate are raspberry, black pepper and spice layered with dark chocolate and roasted nut. The tannins are supple and refined leading to a seductive, linger finish.

"Col Solare is coming into its own. The terrific 2002 Col Solare is unquestionably the finest to date. It explodes from the glass with aromas of black fruits, tar, and licorice. Armed with gorgeous intensity, this broad, medium to full-bodied wine displays tar, blackberry, rose, and dark cherry flavors reminiscent of a top-notch Italian wine. Pure, powerful, and studded with exquisitely ripe tannin, this gem also reveals a long, suave finish."

Conn Creek - 2002 Anthology
Napa Valley

Tasting Notes:
“The pinnacle wine of Conn Creek, Anthology is an expressive, complex blend of Napa Valley’s finest Cabernet, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. This blend offers red and black fruit aromas and spicy flavors with nuanced expressions of creamy oak. A robust wine balanced with silky tannins.”
