With a focus on sustainability and quality, Dolin Estate has become a favorite among wine enthusiasts.

The Solomon Hills Vineyard, located in the renowned Santa Maria Valley, is one of the coolest and most coveted sites for Pinot Noir in California. The vineyard benefits from the Pacific Ocean's cooling influence, which creates long growing seasons and allows the grapes to develop exceptional complexity and depth. The Santa Maria Valley is known for producing world-class Pinot Noir, thanks to its unique terroir of sandy loam soils and a marine-influenced climate.

Dolin Estate's 2017 Solomon Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir was crafted with meticulous care, using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The certified organic grapes were hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and carefully sorted to ensure only the highest quality fruit was used. A slow, cold fermentation allowed the delicate aromas to develop fully before aging in French oak barrels, where the wine matured and gained its refined structure. This Pinot Noir is certified organic as well.

On the palate, this Pinot Noir is both vibrant and sophisticated, offering layers of ripe cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, intertwined with hints of earth and spice. Subtle notes of rose petals, vanilla, and a touch of oak linger on the finish, adding complexity to the wine's silky texture. A balanced acidity and velvety tannins make this wine an elegant expression of the Solomon Hills Vineyard's unique character.
