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.
