From the windswept, cool-climate vineyards of the Santa Maria Valley, the 2022 Solomon Hills Estate Pinot Noir is a masterclass in coastal Pinot precision. Planted on gently sloping terraces with sandy-loam soils that drain freely, these estate vines benefit from morning fogs and afternoon sun that produce grapes with crystalline acidity and vibrant aromatics. The 2022 vintage, a cooler, slow-ripening year, allowed the fruit to develop complex flavors without sacrificing freshness.

On the nose, expect an elegant swirl of wild strawberry, red cherry, cranberry, and subtle floral notes, intertwined with hints of wet slate, forest floor, and faint baking spices. The palate is layered and refined—medium-bodied with bright, racy acidity, silky tannins, and a mineral-driven backbone that leads into a long, precise finish. A wine built for balance, finesse, and age, yet immediately approachable with decanting.

Why You’ll Love It: It's purity, tension, and coastal character; this estate Pinot captures the Santa Maria Valley’s fogline magic in every sip.
