2005 PINOT NOIR SOLOMON HILLS
Santa Maria Valley

While the Clos Pepe pinot is elegant and regal, this Solomon Hills is brash and flamboyant. Not that it is out of balance, it just has an excess of personality! It presents a wild combination of berries and herbal notes that seems to please just about every taster. The 2004 version of this Solomon Hills pinot noir brought us more queries about its availability than any wine in recent memory, and this 2005 is even better. Not to be missed!
