Perhaps no other wine country captures Old World traditions, New World technology, and youthful ambition than Spain - and today's offer is a telling example! From an almost forgotten region of recovered vineyards, the Solanera displays a depth of flavors you'd expect from its more famous (and more expensive!) neighbor Rioja or even the Rhone Valley in France. And no wonder. Comprised of fruit sourced from old vines and made with the most modern of equipment, today's offer is BOTH a powerful AND complex wine suitable for both an afternoon barbecue or more formal evening event - and at a price accessible to any wallet!

2009 Bodegas Castano Solanera
(60% Monastrell, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Garnacha Tintorera)

      "The 2009 Solanera is a blend of 60% Monastrell, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Garnacha Tintorera aged in 500-liter French oak. It is a savory, elegant, already complex offering with layered black fruits, excellent volume, and a fruit-filled finish. Drink this pleasure-bent effort over the next 4-5 years."
