From Sparrow’s Washington red wine list, the Col Solare Malbec is a pour with real pedigree, one we keep for guests who want something serious from Red Mountain.
About Col Solare
Col Solare is a Red Mountain winery in Washington’s Columbia Valley, a celebrated partnership between Washington’s Ste. Michelle Wine Estates and the Antinori family of Tuscany. That pairing of New World fruit and Old World winemaking is the whole idea, and it shows in the glass. Perched on Red Mountain, one of the warmest and most sought-after growing sites in the state, Col Solare built its reputation on structured, Bordeaux-minded reds.
Tasting Notes
As a Red Mountain Malbec, expect concentrated dark fruit, firm structure, and the polish you would hope for from this site: plush blackberry and plum, a touch of cocoa and spice, and fine, well-managed tannins built for the table.
What to Pair It With
This is a steakhouse red. From the Sparrow dinner menu, it shines next to the American Wagyu steaks and the Sparrow-Smoked Rack, and it stands up to the Lamb Quesa-Birria Tacos.
