Solomon Hills 2009 Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Price $57

As this wine constantly changes in the glass, it is one to linger over to enjoy all of its subtleties. It offers rich, complex cherry and currant flavors, and the oak influence brings mocha and toast notes. The tannins and acids shape the balanced mouthfeel. It can be consumed now, but it should develop additional nuances over the next eight years. — S.H. (4/1/2013)

Solomon Hills 2010 Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Price $43

Racy, clean and seemingly bone dry, this wine is elegant and almost shy in its approach. Food friendly and Chablis-like, it has plenty of citrus, cream, mineral and toast subtleties. The fruit was sourced from a vineyard located in the westernmost part of the valley, and hence one of the coolest. Drink now–2018. — S.H. (4/1/2013)

Solomon Hills 2008 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)

Online Exclusive

Price $43

A first release from this well-regarded vineyard, owned by the Millers of Bien Nacido. The wine is very rich and oaky, with 50% new French wood on top of sautéed bananas and pineapples. A little heavy handed. — S.H. (10/1/2011)
