Sola is back, and every bit as delicious as before! A blend of 40% Garnacha, 20% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Temparnillo, and 10% Merlot from 10-30 year-old vines. On the nose it shows dark black plum and super-ripe black raspberry fruit with a hint of earth - reminiscent of a first class Ribera del Duro. It's medium bodied and fresh on the attack with black raspberry fruit, some crisp sweet cherry, and a little blood orange citrus element. The fruit is sweet and ripe but stays fresh, not jammy or overripe. The finish shows more raspberry and a dash of black cherry with some sweet spice and fine, ripe, tannin. You can drink this today simply for the fruit and freshness or give it a little time (a year or two) to gain even more complexity.
