Very complex aromas of fresh flowers, blackberries and black licorice follow through to a full body, integrated tannins and a long and linear finish. Focused and racy. The tannins are so polished. Better in 2022, but already such a joy to try.

Wine Advocate
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Petit Verdot (25%), Merlot (20%) and Sangiovese (5%), the 2016 Solengo is a terrific wine and I enjoyed my sample down to the very last drop that I coaxed from the bottle with happy enthusiasm. This is a full-bodied red (but not in an exaggerated manner) with plump and fruit-forward aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, plum, spice and sweet tobacco. The wine is balanced with excellent depth and mouthfeel momentum. I highly recommend this wine from both the 2015 and 2016 vintages, which are both terrific. Some 25,000 bottles were made. Drink through 2035. (ML) 95+

Wine Spectator
Concentrated flavors of black currant, violet and wild herbs converge on the muscular structure in this red. Powerful, yet somewhat restrained by the vivid acidity. Fine length. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best from 2021 through 2035. (BS)
