Gonzalez Byass – Oloroso Nutty Solera 750ml

Awarded Judges’ Choice at the 2013 Wine Align World Wine Awards. Tasting Note: Made specially for the Canadian market, the Nutty Solera is amazing value. You can buy a bottle, stick it in the liquor cabinet and enjoy it over a few months. And it is under $20. A great wine for the winter with its intense nut, raisin, spice, toffee, coffee and orange zest notes as if it was built for cold nights during the winter holidays around the fire. The palate is medium sweet, full bodied and rich with raisin, clove, walnut, orange zest and some earthy, meaty notes in the background. Get some cheese, dried fruits and nuts, pour yourself a glass and enjoy. Score – 89. (Rhys Pender, MW, winealign.com, Dec. 11, 2013)
