Every Christmas I receive many bottles as gifts, wines that range in quality from very good to awful. This year my brother-in-law gifted me with a bottle Osborne Solaz Merlot/Tempranillo 2005. The "Solaz" label produces many wines, all blends of various grape varieties. The wines have one thing in common: they are not good.
This particular bottle is one of the least objectionable of the many I've tried. It has a strange, bitter flavor followed by a sour cherry finish. It's not good, but it's drinkable. But I wouldn't pay the $8 - $10 price these wines command. I'd give this wine 1/2 star on my value scale.
