The 2012 Col Solare 'Component Collection' Malbec is an absolute stunner from this estate. This impressive release wine begins with aromas reminiscent of red bell pepper, sage, dill and red currant alongside mocha. There are deep flavors of black cherry, black olive, mocha and sagebrush. The texture of this wine is top shelf. This is a polished and dense effort from this estate and showcases this impressive vintage. I have not sampled a better Washington Malbec in the past year.
