Sourced exclusively from their Stanly Ranch Estate Vineyard on the Napa side of Carneros, this non-vintage release of their Solstice Sparkling wine is a blend of 92% Pinot Noir and 8% Chardonnay drawn from the 2018, 2019 and 2020 vintages.
This sparkling wine was made in the methode champenoise, which means the bubbles are created by a secondary fermentation in the bottle. Since the first release, we made the stylistic decision to age the bottles sur latte for 24 months, which is 9 months longer than the minimum required by law for non-vintage Champagne.
As a result, having spent two years in bottle sur lie, there is a pleasant aroma of toasted hazelnut. The Chardonnay in the blend provides aromas of Meyer lemon and a steely minerality. The Pinot Noir portion of the blend provides weight on the mid-palate and flavors of sour cherry. The use of the reserve wine in the blend adds a complexity and depth on both the nose and the palate. Finished in a Brut style, this sparkling wine shows a crisp and refreshing finish.
