Osborne Solaz 1999

4.5 grapes

Osborne, founded in 1772 has a rich tradition and experience of six generations in the creation of fine Rioja, Sherry and Port wines. With newly acquired vineyards located in Malpica de Tajo, in the province of Toledo, the Osborne family has furthered its commitment to quality by creating Solaz Vino de la Tierra de Castilla.

With a careful blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, Solaz has become on the true

great values of the world. The result is a very balanced wine of intense ruby colour, ripe fruit flavours and spicy nuances. An excellent companion to grilled red meats, sautéed chicken or tomato based pastas

With a rating of 87 points from North America's most recognized wine writer, Robert Parker, I say to Stock up!



The Purple Feet Rating System:
