The 2010 Solesce is Carter’s Bordeaux blend comprised of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and the rest Malbec. A departure from previous vintages that focused on Red Mountain Fruit, the 2010 comes all from the Wahluke Slope’s Stone Tree Vineyard and is the first vintage to get a vineyard designate. It offers lots of lavender, black cherry, dried flowers and subtle menthol to go with a medium to full-bodied, supple, elegant profile on the palate. It will drink nicely another decade at least.
