Renaissance 2014, 2015, 2016…the Heart of Soliste.
Renaissance comes from one of those unique vineyard sites that truly exemplifies the Soliste philosophy and style. The hilltop vineyard has three different exposures, facing north, south, and west. This geography funnels brisk marine winds over the vines reducing vigor, extending the ripening period of the grapes, and allowing distinctive aromatics to develop. Once you have tasted Renaissance Pinot Noir, you will always be able to identify its origins.
The ultimate ONE BARREL selection of the stand-alone 2014 vintage
This exclusive set of our SINGLE BARREL MonoClone Pinot Noirs allows you to experience the distinct clonal differences and precise vinification of the 2014 vintage.
Forêt comes from a magnificent secluded vineyard near Occidental. The hillside vineyard has a northeastern exposure, a very steep slope, and is in the middle of a spectacular redwood forest. Just 6 miles from the Pacific Ocean on the western coastal range, is perhaps the most visually stunning vineyard which we are entrusted – the depth of aromatics and spice in Forêt is a pure reflection of this truly unique vineyard’s site, slope, climate, and clone.
Slow and long braising rustic traditional dishes are the perfect pairing for deep red wines; wines of great concentration and focus, spices, but with the finesse associated with Soliste.
