winemaker's notes:

Number 33 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

"The 2004 Solanera is a blend of 65% Monastrell, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Tintorera raised in French oak. More complex than its siblings, this purple-colored wine offers fragrant aromas of spice box, smoke, blueberry pie and blackberry liqueur. Full-bodied, the wine is plush and full-flavored with enough structure to support several years of additional bottle age. It should drink well for 8-10 years."

 I would buy this wine again
Spanish wines are steadily getting better and better. They offer more interesting tastes than many countries. This wine is great tasting and an excellent value.

  international but incredible - 11/10/2007

 I would buy this wine again
While being in a very generic style showing no spanish terroir, this wine is stellar. The mouthfeel is plush, the fruit is perfectly ripe, and there's a 30-40 second finish. This has more polish than alot of $50 wines. One of the best QPR's on the planet!

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
