2019 Pinot Noir, Solomon Hills Vineyard
Santa Maria Valley
"The 2019 Pinot Noir Solomon Hills Vineyard presents a distinctly savory, earthy personality. Dried cherry, licorice, herbs, menthol and crushed flowers all grace this unique, perfumed Pinot. Supple and silky, the 2019 will drink well with minimal cellaring." Vinous, 93 Points
"The 2019 Pinot Noir Solomon Hills Vineyard offers more red fruits as well as lots of floral nuances. It’s medium-bodied, softer, and more elegant than the Bien Nacido releases, and the tannins here are more soft, supple, and rounded. It’s another singular wine in the lineup."

"This is a big-boned pinot, wooly with extract, leading with scents of strawberry jam and blood orange. Its flavors of cherries and caramel are chewy and dark. For a lamb chop.—P.J.C. (503 cases)" Wine & Spirits, 91 Points
