Solomon Hills Pinot Noir 2020
USA, Santa Barbara County
Pinot Noir
Price category: $$$$$
Description
Bien Nacido Vineyards are owned by 5th generation farming family the Millers, who have turned it into one of the most highly sought-after vineyards in southern California and Santa Barbara County. The Solomon Hills vineyard sits at the very cool western end of the Santa Maria Valley making it ideal for supremely elegant Pinot Noir.
The wine has a nose of exotic Indian spices with pomegranate. The entry is shy and elegant, that firms up on the finish with ripe cranberries and more juicy pomegranate lending it crisp freshness suggestive of its very cool-climate origins.
