1999 Osborne Solaz

4 grapes

Allocated product - Academy Brands

Made from a blend of 80% tempranillo and 20% cabernet sauvignon, Solaz is balanced with a big sweet nose of berry fruit; medium bodied with supple tannin, attractive sweetness, and a plush texture and surprising length. From the Tierra de Castilla region of Spain, Solaz is the result of a $47 million investment in select vineyards
and a new winemaking facility. It is one of the world's great wine values...A super value! - 87 Points - Robert Parker.
