Col Solare Winery Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Washington State 

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one from Red Mountain. 

Purple in color with a wide reddish rim.

Elegant nose with blue and black fruits, light cedar, light earth and chocolates notes. 

Medium plus in body with medium acidity. 

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, light cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates and earth. 

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. 

This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain. Elegant and rich. Complex, spicy and entertaining. 

This 8 year old Cabernet is drinking close to its peak. Fruit forward and easy drinking right out of the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years. Has good potential to become a 94 point wine. 

Showing a great mouthfeel with nice balance and elegance. Interesting enough to drink by itself and talk about.

Wine Enthusiasts 91 points. Wine Advocate 93 points. 

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food like a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 22 months. 

14.5% alcohol by volume. 

92 points.

$80.

“Bridge at Red Mountain”

Red Mountain gets its reddish color from iron-sulfide minerals in the rock and oxidizes over time, creating deposits of iron oxide, "rust," that color the peak's slopes the shades of red. #Colorado #RedMountain

Here's a new oil painting of mine. It's on canvas and I'm calling it "Red Mountain Pears (On My Way Home)"

This is a scene I see almost every day on my bike ride home from work, and it felt really great getting to put this little slice of my day on canvas.
