About the Winery: Solomon Hills Estate sits at the western edge of the Santa Maria Valley, one of California’s coolest AVAs.

Winemaking is minimal and focused on purity, allowing the unique coastal terroir to shine.

Appearance: Pale lemon-gold with bright reflections and excellent clarity.
Aroma: Lemon zest, green apple and white peach with hints of chalk, jasmine, almond and delicate oak spice.
Palate: Fresh, elegant and textured; citrus and orchard fruits glide across a mineral backbone with subtle creaminess. Finishes long and saline with refined oak integration.
Body: Medium
Acidity: Medium+
Cellaring Potential: Drink now or cellar 5–7 years for added complexity and nutty development.
Perfect Pairing: Seared scallops, lobster tail, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, goat’s cheese and grilled vegetables.
