2020 Solomon Hills, Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley, California, USA

Description

The 2020 Pinot Noir Solomon Hills Estate has a medium ruby colour and fantastic botanical accents that give this wine its own singular personality. Pure strawberry and raspberry are accented with wafts of lemon peel, wild mint, juniper and dried herbs, continuing to unfold as it airs in the glass. Medium-bodied, uber silky and fresh, it features concentrated berry fruits and a wave of herbal nuances across the long finish.

Drink 2022 - 2030

Critics reviews

Anne Krebiehl MW 91/100

Fragrant and inviting, with beautiful notes of red fruits, it is floral and leafy. Lovely purity of ripe dark fruits with a sophisticated savoury complexity. Finishes with red-fruited nuance and peppery spice.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Solomon Hills is elegant and Pommard-like, with notes of game, peppery herbs, black cherries, and huckleberries. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a great texture, and the balance is spot on.
