October 2, 2021 - An amazing Pinot nose that sets the stage for a beautiful experience each sip. Drinking quite well at 11 years. A nice mix of red fruit, spice, earth, and a slight rustic feel. An outstanding, Cali Pinot with old world sensibility.

March 15, 2020 - I am rarely enamored by PN grown in CA. Occasionally I taste an outlier that peaks interest. Soliste has quite a few bottles that turn my head. (Thank you Dr. Rusty!) They produce a very restrained style of PN that reminds me what I love most about it when not overdone. The true weight of the grape shows well in their product without all the bells and whistles of extraction and barrel aging typical of the region in my experiences. This particular bottle was a gift from my son that he acquired when he was working at a local wine shop while in college a couple years ago. He noticed my interest in it while browsing one day and handed it to me on my birthday fine young man that he is!. When he took me to dinner for my birthday last night the wine was chosen.
This wine appeared to be light translucent ruby moving slightly towards orange near the rim. Tight aroma after opening and gave little more than a really decent texture for an hour and a half then the wine slowly awoke with fresh raspberry strawberry and cherry scents. Rainier cherry flavors, balanced acidity, no noticeable wood tannin and swooning lush texture with nothing out of sorts. Getting better throughout our dinner, certainly showing the potential to hang in for at least a few more years of cellar time. Given the wine making style, this bodes well for other bottles of Soliste I have stashed away for a Rainier day.1 person found this helpful Comment -
