Bonny Doon Ca' del Solo Big House Red 2003
Red Wine
from Central Coast, California
winemaker's notes:
Another break-out hit for the recidivist partisans of this eclectic pan-Mediterranean blend. We altered our varietal mix just a tad this year and introduced a substantial amount of cabernet franc into the concoction. Big House Red is all about fragrance, spice and soft tannins. It has a fragrance of mint and garrigue, with insinuations of blackberry and the ubiquitous framboise. Not a wine that you would want to serve to the Queen (in virtue of its unregenerate rusticity), it is nevertheless a wine that is the perfect complement to barbecue, pasta, pizza and all of the major non-vegan groups.

Soft and big at the same time, if that's possible. Great everyday table wine and a crowd pleaser. At a recent barbeque we went through all the bottles we had and no one wanted to open up anything else.

A really remarkable bottle for the price. I often find myself unable to resist finishing the bottle. The guy at the wine store said that if I didn't like it, he'd buy me another bottle. I'll get him one of these days.

Someone suggested this wine to me and let me tell you, it's fabulous. Bold taste and soft tannins. I hate to admit it, but I love the screw cap :)
It's definitely a great everyday wine. Stock up.
