Shining Hill

A Red Blend from Washington’s Red Mountain AVA that perfect complements the estate’s flagship Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.

With the 2024 vintage, the estate introduces Shining Hill, a red blend that expresses the distinct character of Red Mountain, the appellation nestled deep in the heart of Washington’s wine country. It’s the perfect complement to the estate’s flagship Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.

At Col Solare, our winemakers pay great attention to every step of the grape growing and winemaking process to produce the best wine possible from each vintage. In the vineyards, this means meticulous study of seasonal characteristics to ensure that each viticultural step will be taken at the right time for the vines to ensure the best quality of fruit. In the cellar, the team, led by head winemaker Stephanie Cohen, pays special attention to each aspect of the fermentation process to guide the grapes into becoming a wine of the impeccable quality and style they seek for each bottle. The unique flexibility of Col Solare’s cellar affords the winemaking team complete control in all aspects of the winemaking process, tailoring the wine to the characteristics of each vintage from start to finish.

Italian for ‘shining hill,’ Col Solare was founded to produce a distinctive and renowned ultra-luxury Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington’s Red Mountain appellation. Col Solare was born with the 1995 vintage. Since then, the Antinori family established a dedicated Col Solare winery and estate vineyard on Red Mountain (2007) and their vision has evolved to focus on showcasing the Cabernet Sauvignon of this unique AVA and the specific fruit of Col Solare’s 29-acre estate vineyard.

The 2024 Shining Hill Red Blend has aromas of blackberries, red currant, and white pepper. The wine is bright, refreshing, beautifully balanced, and approachable. Perfect to sip prior to a meal or with a variety of cuisines.
