Tasting Notes:
This wine displays a richness in the glass, with its opaque, deep garnet color. Showing some characteristics more commonly associated with Bordeaux rather than California, you’ll find notes of earthy, forest floor, dried herbs and cedar intermingling with dark cherry, black currant and pepper. Subtle hints of toasted vanilla, licorice and balsamic show off the depth of this wine. The higher acidity and fine-grained tannins lends itself to food, and compliment the wine’s medium-long finish.

A very special wine deserves a thoughtful dinner pairing. Pair with meat dishes such as marinated rib eye steak, slow cooked braised short ribs or Châteaubriand. On the lighter side, compliment this wine with Portabella mushroom truffle risotto, charred Gruyere bison burger or wild mushroom stroganoff. Take your time and savor every last sip!

About the Winery
Sol Rouge Vineyard and Winery
Hidden away in the foothills of a dormant volcano in Lake County, just north of Napa Valley, Sol Rouge Vineyard and Winery is crafting under-the-radar, award winning wines. Sol Rouge gets its name from the red soils that blanket the region and contribute to the unique quality of the wines. Residing in the Red Hills AVA (American Viticultural Area) Sol Rouge sits at elevations over 1800 feet, allowing the vines to bask in the sun above the fog line.
